Outsourced has closed, but the project continues online. Click the Artworks menu above to see the cocoon works and read the stories behind them. You can also see photos of the entire installation.

In workshops, makers brought objects tied to care, memory, or weight, then wrapped and embroidered them in laceweight yarn. They wrote about their objects afterward, creating a shared archive of emotional labor—what we carry, protect, and transform.

Selected works from Outsourced, along with new work, will be shown at the Harry Wood Gallery on ASU’s Tempe campus in early February. Dates coming soon.
