The Grid, Weaving, Body And Mind, Syniva Whitney

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

The modernist grid continues to influence contemporary art. The grid and the evolution of this visual idea, the matrix, have become essential in understanding the conceptual relevance of work that explores the connection between the hand and the digital and the seen and invisible. The structured simplicity of the floor loom weavings of Ruth Laskey, the Internet based work of Eduardo Navasse, the industrially produced weavings and digital sound installations of Christy Matson and the digital installation work of Julius Popp are used as examples to trace the influence of the ideas that Rosalind Krauss and other art theorists began …

Capturing The Landscape : Textiles For The Australian Fashion Industry, Liz Williamson

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

Textiles are intricately interlaced with fashion, giving texture, drape, feel, detail and color to garments. In Australia, tracing the place of textiles in the fashion industry presents a complex story of materials, individual designers, studio practices, commercial production, textiles, art, craft and design. Overwhelmingly, makers of textiles for fashion have shown a desire to represent Australia, its character and spirit in cloth.

This paper documents research into how textiles have been designed and made for fashion over the last six decades, focusing on designers whose practice specializes in fashion fabrics. Many of these artists and designers gained experience overseas, returning …

Cloth Settlers: Fine Art Dolls Populating The Textile Art Landscape, Shelley Thornton

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

This presentation will offer a view of the work of a group of renowned world-class artists who have chosen dollmaking as their mode of expression and textiles as their medium. Art-quality images will portray work by contemporary artists creating cutting-edge textile dolls today as well as some earlier artists active as far back as the nineteen forties who, working in a more traditional vein, helped set high standards for doll artistry and built the foundation for the current state of the art form. Dolls of this caliber have found their way into the collections of the Smithsonian Institution and the …

The Sacred Yellow, Bina Rao

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

In India, the color yellow has many symbolic associations. My presentation on the subject will be a visual journey through the historic and religious significance of yellow in Asian countries. This will include Royal Yellow used in the court garments in Malaysia and Spiritual Yellow as part of the Buddhist monks’ attire in Japan and Thailand. Indonesians, Indians, Bangladeshis, and Sri Lankans also know that this color is both auspicious and medicinal. At my natural dye farm in southern India, outside of Hyderabad, we have derived varying shades of yellow from many natural ingredients and we have successfully incorporated them …

Stained Glass Windows Of Trinity Cathedral, Cleveland, Ohio, Produced By Wilbur H. Burnham Studios, Michael J. Tevesz

Cleveland Memory

Trinity Episcopal Cathedral has over forty large stained glass windows that range in age from the 15 to the 20th Century. The medieval windows were produced in England and Germany, while the more contemporary windows were produced by such prominent studios as those directed by Willet, Connick, Tiffany, Heaton, Young, and Burnham. The more contemporary windows are of considerable artistic and historical interest, but there is very little information available about them. This monograph specifically focuses on the windows of Trinity Cathedral produced by the Wilbur H. Burnham Studios. The Burnham Studios windows are the most accessible windows within the …

Process, Dominic Flask

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Flexible, Versatile, Curious, Experienced, Informed, Explorative. These things, and many others, describe an effective, efficient and skilled designer. I try to be all of them. My design studies have been focused in three main areas: exploration, education and communication. The creative process is not a singular process, but rather a conglomeration of many varied processes. Some processes are not applicable to every design problem, but some are.

Integral Bits, Lance Schmittling

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

My goal is to create projects that are different, fresh, unique, and bale to stand alone when compared to my other work. This is an important ability for me to possess since it shows my extensive knowledge of design and my willingness to work hard at creating exceptional ideas.
