Abstract

Weaving is an ancient craft with a fascinating history, and one that keeps evolving. Today it is being adopted and reinvented by makers in cities all over the world. From rugs and wall hangings to artistic installations and subversive interventions, contemporary expressions of the craft are as diverse as they are numerous. A feast for the eye, this book celebrates contemporary weaving and its makers, presenting a carefully curated selection of weavers alongside a rare glimpse into their worlds. In six in-depth, thematic essays, design expert and journalist Katie Treggiden explores the craft, its history and the many faces of its current revival.

Abstract

De veranderende status van tricot in de mode vormt een fascinerend verhaal waarin de draden van socioculturele omwentelingen en modeontwerp stevig met elkaar vervlochten zijn. Door deze geschiedenis te ontrafelen, met haar vele ups en downs op verschillende plaatsen en in verschillende decennia, toont dit boek hoe onze hedendaagse kijk op breiwerk werd gevormd. Door de associatie van breiwerk met hobbycultuur, vrouwelijkheid en ambachtelijkheid wordt wel eens vergeten dat tricot ook een heel modieus product is, en zelfs een gedurfde keuze voor modeontwerpers die er graag mee experimenteren. De huidige comeback van het tricot is in feite een heropleving van iets wat nooit helemaal weg is geweest. Nauw aansluitende jurken, jerseysportkleding, grof breiwerk, sculpturale volumes, netachtige body's met het uitzicht van kantwerk... de mogelijkheden van breiwerk vormen een onuitputtelijke inspiratiebron voor modeontwerpers. Dit boek licht een tipje van de sluier op van de verborgen geschiedenis van breiwerk en ontrafelt gaandeweg de productiemethoden, de achterliggende sociale geschiedenis en de esthetische ontwikkelingen en omwentelingen van tricot in de mode. Van stijlvolle 'opa-cardigans' tot oorlogsbreiwerk, van verfijnde kousen tot 3D-breiwerk, over de onvergankelijke aantrekkingskracht van de twinset en de notie van het vormloze in de mode, dit boek trekt de draad beetje bij beetje los, en voor onze ogen verschijnt de rijke geschiedenis van iets wat wij altijd heel gewoon en vanzelfsprekend hebben gevonden: breiwerk.

Abstract

Bojagi, traditional Korean wrapping cloths, were originally made from pieces of leftover fabric skillfully and imaginatively put together. The stunning results often resembled the paintings of such modern artists as Mondrian and Klee. Using her own work and that of others, Sara Cook--a leading expert on the subject--explains how modern textilers can interpret the principles of Bojagi in their own beautiful creations. Cook briefly covers the history and meaning of Bojagi in Korean culture, as well as the equipment and fabrics (including silk, hemp, and ramie); Obanseak, or Bojagi's techniques, designs, colors, and symbolism; color seams and embellishments; and Jagokbo, or textiles pieced from tiny scraps. Textile artists and quilters will find a range of ideas to use to inspire them.

Abstract

Architectures of Weaving bridges architecture and textile by exploring fiber architectures from the micro scale of biological systems to the macro scale of textile and built structures. Selected case studies, essays, and interviews reflect on cultural practices and materials research through the lens of textile thinking. In the quest for sustainable and resilient approaches that meet the challenges of our time, the book presents fascinating approaches heralding a paradigm shift by working with fibrous materiality: structures become flexible and adaptive, they interact with their environment. As a source of inspiration, the book assembles exceptional contributions from the fields of architecture, art, material science, cultural history, design, engineering, mathematics, microbiology, and textile technology.

Abstract

Het Nederlandse collectief We Make Carpets heeft een fascinatie voor eenvoudige gebruiksvoorwerpen. De afgelopen tien jaar hebben zij de wereld veroverd met het maken van site-specific installaties in een wonderlijk proces van herwaardering van deze producten. Duizenden objecten worden door dagenlange noeste arbeid, getoond in aantrekkelijk kleurrijke patronen en texturen. Door het nauwkeurig neerleggen, in een steeds weer andere richting of andere zijde, laat We Make Carpets de toeschouwer alledaagse producten zien zoals hij die nog nooit eerder heeft gezien. Het boek toont 32 installaties gemaakt tussen 2014 en 2020. Paginavullende foto's van de kunstwerken worden begeleid door teksten van curatoren, publiek en directbetrokkenen bij de producties. Het boek geeft inzicht in de werkwijze van We Make Carpets, hun belevingswereld en de diverse locaties waar zij exposeerden zoals 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT in Tokio, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. Voor het eerst zijn de tijdelijke werken van dit Nederlandse collectief samen gebundeld en permanent zichtbaar.

Abstract

Explore two essential textile-art concepts with leading artist Shelley Rhodes. Fragmentation and repair are two of the biggest buzzwords in textile and mixedmedia art, and in this fascinating and beautiful book renowned textile artist Shelley Rhodes explores both concepts, with a wealth of fresh ideas, practical advice and inspiring examples from her own work and from embroiderers around the world, including Debbie Lyddon and Alice Fox. Fragmentation lies at the heart of Shelley's work, and she shows how she deconstructs and reassembles cloth, paper and objects to create new pieces, incorporating found objects and materials she has collected over the years to add a personal note. She covers using salvaged and recycled materials, repurposing household items, and methods of distressing and manipulating surfaces by burning, piercing, rust-dyeing and even composting. She also shows how larger pieces of work can be cut up and the components worked on individually to form a series of smaller works with strong visual impact. Special attention is given to darning and patching, traditionally seen simply as ways to prolong the life of garments but now appreciated as meaningful and decorative techniques in their own right, and Shelley also investigates the Japanese concepts of wabi-sabi (finding beauty in imperfection) and mottainai (using every last scrap), both of which constantly inform her work. This beautifully illustrated book is the ideal companion for any textile artist wanting to bring notions of fragility, fragmentation and repair into their own work.
