OK, for all of you that love textiles and even for those of you that don't really care for textiles you have to see this book. Textiles, by Mary Schoeser. A two inch thick book filled with images that push all borders while respecting history and process.
The best book on textiles/art I have seen , ever.
Thanks for the book reference. I have limited knowledge in the field of weaving, but lately with our readings I've been pulled more into the fiber world.
ReplyDeleteFor "pleasure" I've been reading a book called "Mummies of Urumchi" by Elizabeth Wayland Barber that goes in depth into the wonderful textiles found on the Cherchen mummies in the Tarim Basin of China. It's really interesting to me to be reading about the 60s/70s/80s generation fiber artists and these very early weavers together.
