商品簡介
An evocative exploration of how travel can inspire and enhance textile art Travel has always featured heavily in textile art, from artists’ ‘travelling sketchbooks’ to large-scale installations mapping coastal erosion or the effects of climate change. Renowned textile artist Anne Kelly shows how to capture journeys in stitch, with practical techniques sitting alongside inspirational images. She begins by discussing maps in textile art, including their iconography and incorporating actual maps into textile work. The book then goes on to explore the influence of different cultures from across the globe on textile art. From India and Peru to Scotland and Scandinavia, the book shows how to harness traditional techniques, fabrics, motifs and colours. Also explored are space travel and inner space as sources of inspiration, with artists mapping their own emotional journeys.
