The needle arts are traditionally associated with the decorative, domestic, and feminine. Stitching the Self sets out to expand this narrow view, demonstrating how needlework has emerged as an art form through which both objects and identities – social, political, and often non-conformist – are crafted.
Bringing together the work of ten art and craft historians, this illustrated collection focuses on the interplay between craft and artistry, amateurism and professionalism, and re-evaluates ideas of gendered production between 1850 and the present. From quilting in settler Canada to the embroidery of suffragist banners and the needlework of the Bloomsbury Group, it reveals how needlework is a transformative process – one which is used to express political ideas, forge professional relationships, and document shifting identities.
With a range of methodological approaches, including object-based, feminist, and historical analyses, Stitching the Self examines individual and communal involvement in a range of textile practices. Exploring how stitching shapes both self and world, the book recognizes the needle as a powerful tool in the fight for self-expression. 针艺传统上与装饰、家居和女性有关。缝合自我开始扩大这个狭隘的观点，展示了针线活是如何作为一种艺术形式出现的，通过这种艺术形式，物体和身份——社会，政治，通常是非因循守旧的手工艺者——都是手工艺者。汇集了10位艺术和手工艺历史学家的作品，这个插图集聚焦于手工艺和艺术之间的相互作用，业余性和专业性，并重新评估1850年至今的性别。从加拿大定居者的绗缝到妇女参政主义横幅的刺绣和布卢姆茨伯里派的刺绣，它揭示了刺绣是一个变革的过程——一个被用来表达政治思想，建立专业关系，和记录转变身份的过程。探索缝合如何塑造自我和世界，这本书认识到针在自我表达的斗争中是一个强大的工具。 基本信息 出版社 : Bloomsbury Visual Arts (2020年1月9日) 语言 : 英语 精装 : 248页 ISBN-10 : 1350070386 ISBN-13 : 978-1350070387 商品重量 : 648 g 尺寸 : 15.42 x 2.11 x 22.4 cm
