Craftwork is the joint practice of Nicole Yi Messier and Victoria Manganiello, where they explore the nature of textiles and technology through installations, storytelling, and material-based research.

“Our practice questions our relationships with the technologies and textiles that surround us daily. We mix physical and digital technologies to unleash exploratory forms of interaction, refocusing the mysticism behind machines through architectural, sculptural, and tangible soft pieces.”
