"Conceptual Craft"

Another term you can bandy: Conceptual Craft

As In:

"As with any group show, there are also works that defy categorization. Carol D. Westfall's dense bundles of compressed weaver’s knots are so simple-looking yet oddly alluring that it is difficult to know what to make of them. Here the collapse of the boundary between art and craft is complete: these works are less pretty objects to be admired than they are the residue of an idea. Let’s call it conceptual craft."
