Abstract
Where do traditional crafts and digital forms intersect? How might adaptation and assemblage be forms of handiwork? This interchapter studies the work of Kabe Wilson, a multimedia artist who rearranged Virginia Woolf’s 1929 long essay on women’s rights and creativity, A Room of One’s Own, into the anagrammatical work Of One Woman or So by Olivia N’Gowfri. The author compares Wilson’s transmedia adaptations of Woolf to the multiple levels of methodology involved in studying craft. Extending craft studies to the postdigital present through processes such as 3-D scanning, this interchapter theorizes tactility and artistic encounters between media and across time.
