Crochet Queens Artist Statement -
Crochet Fashions by Alex.
Creating slow fashion with a tagline. Crochet Queens is a space that uniquely reflects my aesthetic and style whilst representing crochet in a space it may not have lived before, whilst representing styles and motifs from a world long past.
My name is Alex. I am a maker and visual artist living in Ballarat on Wadawarrung country. Iβm a mother of three beautiful children and my partner and I strive to raise them to be compassionate, creative crusaders.
Iβve been crocheting since I was 10 years old and I love the versatility of this medium.
The world these days is pretty far from the old ways. From the slow and contemplative. Crochet for me is a link back to my grandparents, aunties and guardians.
I love to create and make. Itβs a part of who I am. Being a full-time parent and keeping up with a growing family is a huge task, let alone having capacity to make.
Support mother artists and makers so we can keep doing the things we love and raise the next generation of artists.
