Ten Dollars and a 70s Glow is a suspended installation of five crocheted dome structures, each one a contemporary reimagining of the traditional doily form. Rooted in the spirit of Play Everyday, this work investigates the intersection of personal memory, cultural history, and joyful experimentation. Through research into the significance of crochet in Afro-Caribbean communities, I learned how doilies held meaning far beyond decoration. They were symbolic of independence, resilience, and self expression, often crafted and sold by women to support their families. This research became deeply personal when I learned that my grandmother had been making and selling handmade doily lamps in the 1970s, echoing the very practices I was studying. Through form, light, and craft, Ten Dollars and a 70s Glow becomes both homage and evolution, honoring these histories while playfully reshaping them into something new. The process of developing and each structure celebrates the tactile, hands-on joy of making, inviting viewers to reflect on how memory, legacy, and care live on through craft.
