Travel has long played a significant role in textile art, with artists utilizing their 'travel sketchbooks' and large-scale installations to capture the effects of coastal erosion and climate change. In her book, renowned textile artist Anne Kelly offers practical techniques and inspiring images to help textile artists capture their travels, both past and present, in stitch.
Kelly begins by discussing the use of maps in textile art, exploring their iconography and incorporating actual maps into textile works. She then delves into the influence of different cultures from around the world on textile art, showcasing how traditional techniques, fabrics, motifs, and colors can be incorporated into one's own work.
The book takes readers on a journey through various regions, including India, Peru, Scotland, and Scandinavia, highlighting how textile artists have adapted traditional techniques and materials to create unique and captivating pieces. The chapter titled "Stopping Places" explores the moments in time during a journey that can be distilled, remembered, and documented to create stitched postcards, sketchbooks, and other pieces.
The final chapter, "Space and the Imagination," explores the possibilities of space travel as a source of inspiration, covering both inner space and outer space. Artists are shown mapping their own emotional journeys, creating intricate and thought-provoking textile works.
In addition to practical techniques and exquisite photography, the book includes a wealth of tips and tricks for textile artists, embroiderers, and makers. It encourages readers to use their past travels as inspiration for their work, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with textile art.
