Confluencing

Process, shifting, becoming.

Naomi Wanjiku

“This work reimagines ancestral adornment through fine-gauge stainless steel wire, crocheted into tensile, lace-like structures.

Domestic craft is recast as sculpture, balancing delicacy and force, intimacy and endurance.”

“Rooted in women’s craft traditions in Kenya, this crochet wirework turns ancestral making into sculpture.

Using fine-gauge metal in place of fiber, the work pulls domestic technique into a field of tension, where memory, labor, and cultural inheritance are recast in contemporary form.

These pieces do not simply honor tradition. They test its strength and keep it in motion.”
