Formations (secondhand fabric, thread, wire). B. Jean Larson

B. Jean Larson is an artist and researcher who questions value and visibility by exploring the intersections of utilitarian textile craft, posthumanism, and queer theory. Central to her practice is the metaphor of the bog: a queer space that shifts between the binaries of land and water and has been historically devalued.

Through meticulous hand braiding, B. Jean creates large-scale rag rugs that move between painting and sculpture, art and craft.
