Titre: Stitching the Self Condition: Neuf Sous titres: Identity and the Needle Arts Auteur: Johanna Amos Contributeur: Johanna Amos (Edited by), Lisa Binkley (Edited by) Format: Relié ISBN-10: 1350070386 EAN: 9781350070387 ISBN: 9781350070387 Publisher: Bloomsbury Visual Arts Genre: Sports & Hobbies Sujet: Arts & Photography, Fashion & Design, History Date de publication: 2020-01-09 Description: 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.
