Sculpture is no longer limited to materials like stone or metal.
Sculpting in fabric is shown in ingenious detail here, with more
than 350 lavish photographs of 3-D cloth configurations along with
insightful profiles of the 78 artists who created them. The images
and text capture the currents that are powering these works, like
the do-it-yourself (DIY) movement established in the 1990s and the
current revival of the revolutionary sculptural cloth of the 1960s.
Works are approached through five themes: investigating nature,
capturing the ephemeral, playing with space, telling a story, and
"Take Heed." In her foreword, renowned fiber art expert Josephine
Stealey helps us put this art form in context, from its origins in
1880 England's arts and craft movement to today. This is essential
reading and inspiration for collectors, students, home artists, and
anyone who appreciates innovative artwork.
