An evocative exploration of how travel - local and far away - can
inform, inspire and enhance textile art. Travel has always featured
heavily in textile art, from artists’ ‘travelling
sketchbooks’ to large-scale installations mapping coastal erosion
or the effects of climate change. In this book, renowned textile
artist Anne Kelly shows how to capture your travels, past and
present, in stitch, with practical techniques sitting alongside
inspiring images. She begins the book by discussing maps in textile
art, including their iconography as well as incorporating actual
maps into textile work. She then goes on to explore the influence
of different cultures from across the globe on textile art. From
India and Peru to Scotland and Scandinavia, the book shows how to
harness traditional techniques, fabrics, motifs and colours for use
in your own work. The chapter ‘Stopping Places’ captures the
moments in time on a journey that can be distilled, remembered and
documented to create stitched postcards, sketchbooks and other
pieces. The final chapter, ‘Space and the Imagination’,
explores the possibilities of space travel as a source of
inspiration, and covers inner space too, with artists mapping their
own emotional journeys. Including a wealth of practical tricks and
techniques as well as exquisite photography of both Anne’s own
work and that of other leading textile artists, this fascinating
book will inspire all textile artists, embroiderers and makers to
use past travels to influence their work.
