Textile is at once a language, a concept and a material thing.
Philosophers such as Plato, Deleuze and Derrida have notably drawn
on weaving processes to illustrate their ideas, and artists such as
Ann Hamilton, Louise Bourgeois and Chiharu Shiota explore matters
such as the seam, the needle and thread, and the flow of viscous
materials in their work. Yet thinking about textile and making
textile are often treated as separate and distinct practices,
rather than parallel modes. This beautifully illustrated book
brings together for the first time the language and materiality of
textile to develop new models of thinking, writing and making.
Through the work of thinkers such as Roland Barthes, Helene Cixous
and Luce Irigaray, and international artists like Eva Hesse and
Helen Chadwick, textile practitioner, theorist and writer Catherine
Dormor puts forward a new philosophy of textile. Exploring the
material behaviours and philosophical language of folding,
shimmering, seaming, viscosity, fraying and caressing, Dormor
demonstrates how textile practice and theory are intricately woven
together.
