A thoughtful survey of fibre sculpture and wall art portrayed in
335 vibrant images and insightful text. Explore the work of three
generations of fine artists who have opened their minds and spirits
to the boundless range of expressive possibilities in textile
methods or materials. Even as the art on these pages references
weaving, crochet or quilting, traditional textile notions disappear
in the hands of serious artists, appropriating essential elements
for their contemporary concepts. From looms, needles, embroidery
hoops, and bare hands, ideas take form. Piles of cloth, yarn,
beads, fragrant grasses, bamboo or other materials of unusual
resistance absorb and then return an artist's creative energy. Each
object is distinctive to each artist. The discrete marks made by a
certain pair of hands tell us who made which treasures. Danish
artist/critic Lisbeth Tolstrup refers to art created in fibre media
as "windows into the wizard's workshop". Enjoy peeking through the
windows of these wizards.
