Description

Fiber art is the practice of gathering discarded threads and fabric scraps and calling it art, challenging viewers’ imaginations. The flood of colorful fibers sometimes inspires awe and sometimes exposes a mere collection of knitting mistakes — a delicious contradiction. Once displayed in a gallery, the boundary between craft and art dissolves spectacularly, leaving nothing but acclaim and confusion.
