Even while drawing upon the very tactile and hand-made traditions of fiber, knitting, weaving, and knotting the IFC haptically utilizes blogging, email, and other digital networking to connect its global communities. IFC’s community casts a similarly wide net: extending to artists, craftspeople, school children, college groups, and other makers working collaboratively or individually. Marsh and other IFC volunteers connect the individual fiber panels into vast coverings to wrap a gas station, a gigantic tree, and a NASA rocket. The large-scale, cozy-like creations of the IFC might be compared to the ephemeral wrapped works of Jeanne-Claude and Christo, yet they also seem to have a craft affinity with products of knitting circles. As a fellow artist and educator, I have participated in and researched multiple collaborative projects with Marsh and the IFC over the past few years. This chapter examines the merging of art and activism within the International Fiber Collaborative (IFC), founded by Jennifer Marsh.

Cusk expertly handles the logistics of the crowded setting, building tension as the characters form unexpected, temporary alliances-Kurt and L, Brett and Justine-and M’s isolation increases. L paints portraits of everyone except M-which devastates her. The characters enter an uneasy equilibrium on the marsh as allusions of a global financial disaster fill in the backdrop. M’s daughter, Justine, and her new boyfriend, Kurt, who reminds M of her first husband, move into the cabin just before L shows up with a gorgeous young woman named Brett. L’s art deeply affected M 15 years earlier when she was a young mother and was struck by the work’s “freedom” and how it was “elementally and unrepentingly male down to the last brushstroke.” To her surprise, L accepts, before canceling. They have built a guest cabin on their property, which they call the “second place.” Through a mutual friend, M invites a painter, L, to stay in the cabin. The narrator, M, is a writer living on an isolated coastal marsh with her second husband, Tony. Cusk’s intelligent, sparkling return (after Kudos) centers on a woman in crisis.
