fibreQUARTERLY shall explore these “categories”:
- Tapestry. Is it a specific method of working or a mislabeling of something that is hung on a wall?
- Hangings. “Art” or just blankets, rugs, carpets and quilts?
What are the construction methods? Are they woven, knotted, hooked, punched, whole or pieced?
These few words outline the variety of approaches and methods in creating the objects that, depending on size or scale, can limit or alter function; can be used for explaining or describing fibre based, textile/fabric work that is hung on walls.
We invite submissions in the following areas:
Articles: We are seeking essays and profiles dealing with the categories (as listed above). Histories of national, provincial, or local organizations; associations, guilds or “networks” that developed to focus on or facilitate study, creation, and promotion of specific traditional ways of working.
Profiles of Individual Artists identified as “masters” of these methods [contemporary or deceased]
Up and coming practitioners with portfolio presentations accompanied with critical examination and/ or interviews.
Profile of mid career artist with either interview or bio sketch
On Going Sections:
