Dimensional Cloth

Sculpture by Contemporary Textile Artists

Andra Stanton

Description

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 which 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.
