The Isle of Yarn is about a society of women who live in harmony with one another and with nature. However, the isle is at risk due to enemy invaders who are hunting the rabbits to sell their pelts.
Triptych One:
The Isle
The first part of my thesis is about a fictional community of women who have a special bond with magical rabbits. It focuces on craft-making, community between women, as well as the process of making and unmaking.
Triptych Two:
The Enemy
The second part of my thesis is about an outside enemy force coming to hunt and kill the rabbits to sell their fur for a profit. It explores themes of capitalism and colonialism, as well as resource use and abuse of the environment.
