Nadine Flagel’s hooked rugs explore the implications of fast fashion by restaging and reusing post-consumer textiles.

Craft Council of BC

<p>Consumer culture imperatives tell us to throw away textiles, and North Americans do: about 65 lbs. per person, per year. We cannot easily measure or mitigate the overwhelming environmental and social impacts of textile production and waste. However, alternative perspectives suggest that snagged or spoiled clothing can enter the creative realm of possibility instead of the landfill. A snag is the emergence of the unexpected: the jolting sensation when a boat hull grazes a submerged log, or when your sweater catches on a rusty nail. The snag is the obstacle that captures attention. The techniques of rug hooking, specifically, can be read as the purposeful snagging of fabric that has on a smaller scale already been snagged. The vibrant hooked rugs in Snagged make visible, problematize, and celebrate clothing at the edge of use.</p>
