Description
Fiber Art Today by Carol K. Russell is a comprehensive survey of contemporary fiber sculpture and wall art, featuring 335 vibrant images and insightful text. This thought-provoking collection showcases the work of three generations of fine artists who have pushed the boundaries of textile methods and materials. Through its extensive range of techniques and mediums, Fiber Art Today reveals how traditional notions of weaving, crochet, and quilting are reinterpreted by serious artists to create innovative and expressive works. The book highlights the unique qualities of each artist's approach, from the use of looms, needles, and embroidery hoops to the incorporation of unusual materials such as bamboo or fragrant grasses. By exploring the creative processes and techniques employed by these fiber artists, Fiber Art Today offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of contemporary textile art.
