"Stuffed animals are textile sculptures. I think stuffed animals are seen as somehow less artistic because they're associated with feminine shit like "nurturance", and our society has made the bizarre decision that no one should need THAT after the age of, I don't know, six? It's a very silly and arbitrary idea. Textile art is lovely."
