Mixed Media Textile Art Book

Ann Goddard, leading textile artist, takes three-dimensional textiles to a new level in this practical book. Ann draws her inspiration from natural landscapes, organic material and a concern for the environment. Her work combines textile and non/textile elements with construction. Linen, loose fibers, paper and yarn are complemented by seemingly unlikely materials including concrete, wood, lead and bark. Fragile is juxtaposed with hard, natural with man-made, beauty with imperfection. The techniques range from stitching, wrapping, couching, and knotting to sawing, drilling, and casting. In this book, previously separate art media are combined to create eclectic works; boundaries are crossed, expectations challenged and categorization rejected.

Mixed Media Textile Art in Three Dimensions takes a linear look at the creative process from themes, research and experimentation through to preparing elements, conveying meaning and constructing three-dimensional forms, encouraging you to broaden your horizons in textile work.
