Summary

"Contemporary Textiles: The Fabric of Fine Art is a comprehensive look at both the established and emerging artists who engage with one of the most exciting mediums current in contemporary art." "With a foreword by groundbreaking textile artist Jann Haworth, Contemporary Textiles: The Fabric of Fine Art goes on to chronicle the rich history and possible futures for textile fine art. Essays by Janis Jefferies and Bradley Quinn open up the fascinating narrative of the medium in the 'high art' context, drawing on its history in craft and the ornamental and charting its gradual migration into the world of contemporary creative practice. With profiles of over 50 artists, Contemporary Textiles: The Fabric of Fine Art is an inspiring and comprehensive survey of the many and varied creative expressions spoken through the language of textile fine art."--Jacket.
