TEXTILE
ART

By BEA BERNASCONI

HAPPY TO SEE YOU

Fiber artists face the same dilemma of all artists; determining “what is art?” Often textile art is associated with handicraft because it is associated with a domestic and utilitarian production.

A textile artist does not produce potholder’s or just follow a pattern, but create works that communicate a message, emotion or a meaning that goes beyond the material or technic used.
