Every day we are in touch with the art of textiles.\u00a0From the clothes we buy or sew, to the various items with which we strive to decorate our homes.\u00a0Such art can become both beautiful and useful.\u00a0It was the latter property that was most often valued in history.\u00a0But contemporary artists have completely changed their view of textiles.<\/p>\n

Story<\/h3>\n

Textile is one of the most ancient forms of art created by human civilization.\u00a0When making clothes, a person took into account not aesthetics of appearance, but practicality – for example, he created such clothes or a blanket so that they help to keep warm.\u00a0This dates back to prehistoric times, and anthropologists believe that our ancestors learned to make robes from 100 to 500 thousand years ago.\u00a0For this, various materials were used – from animal skins, fur to leaves and much more.<\/p>\n

With the passage of time and the emergence of Neolithic cultures, textiles took on increasingly complex forms.\u00a0Many early products were made using animal fibers.\u00a0People learned how to spin threads, and clothes began to resemble what we put in this concept today.<\/p>\n

The creation of textiles was a laborious process – everything had to be done manually.\u00a0At first the fibers were collected, then twisted to turn into yarn.\u00a0Making clothes was an expensive affair; tailors and seamstresses had to ensure that it would be more worn.\u00a0Depending on how wealthy the customer was, they used imported fabrics and paints.\u00a0Chinese silk came along the Great Silk Road, as well as goods from Africa, Asia, and India.<\/p>\n

Mostly fabrics were used to make clothes, but aristocrats could afford the creation of magnificent tapestries and bright interior items.
\nThe industrial revolution was a turning point for the textile industry.\u00a0With the invention of the cotton ginning and spinning machines, as well as the mechanical loom, the fabrication became automated, they could be produced on a massive scale.\u00a0Textiles were no longer the prerogative of the rich.\u00a0Prices fell, textiles could afford most of the society.\u00a0It also meant that creative people could experiment with textiles.<\/p>\n

Modern artists create amazing works of art.\u00a0For example, New Zealand artist Genevieve Griffiths incorporates weaving to create wall-inspired tapestries inspired by architecture.<\/p>\n

Joana Vasconcelos, Anne Mondro, Toshiko Horiuchi Macadam create their delicate pieces using crochet techniques.\u00a0Toshiko’s sculptures inspire awe and force the viewer to become part of them.<\/p>\n
