Why is textile as an art medium coming into its own at this time? The reason is obvious. We live in a high-tech world. We communicate via Internet, or cell phone or laptop. We have become distant from the sources of our food, clothing, and shelter. So, in that atmosphere, a high-touch art form has direct appeal. We can touch it, feel it. The work is approachable, human.

Beyond that, textile work is a metaphor for our lives - many strands, seemingly disparate, woven together to make a sometimes surprising whole.

It is hoped that this book makes a small contribution to the growing recognition of textiles as a truly great art form.
