Description
Fiber art and craft-inspired sculpture by eight US and Latin American women artists is a powerful medium for embodied affective experience. This book explores the work of these artists, grounding their practice in the theories of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The author, John Corso Esquivel, argues that craft is a material act of intuition, and that fiber art is well-positioned to lead the way in affect theory and twenty-first-century feminist subjectivities. The book provocatively challenges the traditional view of fiber art as being on the periphery of modern art. Instead, it positions these artists as pioneers in a new field of study. By examining the work of these women, the book sheds new light on the role of craft in shaping our understanding of affect and feminist subjectivity. Through its exploration of fiber art and craft, this book offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of art, theory, and feminism.
