Contemporary art comes in many shapes and forms, but close your eyes and think of what an artist looks like and nine times out of 10, I bet you are still thinking of a painter in front of a canvas. If recent interest for museums and galleries is any indication, however, that image should be joined by another one: the fiber artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of a weaver seated at the loom or a quilt-maker laboriously stitching together layers of fabric. The textile arts have experienced a quiet but steady groundswell<\/a> of interest in the last decades<\/a>, and recently I\u2019ve noticed that it feels as if it is kicked into a new, even higher level, from the many kinds of textile based art<\/a> throughout the most recent Venice Biennale to the major show<\/a> \u201cWoven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction,\u201d which is on a tour of some of North America\u2019s most important museums right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
