Abstract
ABSTRACTThis hybrid analytic reflection and art piece uses practice-based research methods to explore the potential of art production in relation to temporality, fat, and visuality. The resulting drawings, needlepoints, and paintings are contextualized with artist notes alongside queer and fat theories to articulate when and how fat is seen, felt, and known. The research question for this project is the following: What do we learn from fat queer craft as a process of reading and making representations of fatness by, for, and about folks who identify as fat? Leveraging the fat body’s association with slowness, the artistic and narrative work demonstrate how time, corporeality, adipose tissue, affect, and context mediated through an academic-activist-artist lens can make fat known in unusual ways.
