Fragments Of Everyday Life, Karen Jenson Rutherford

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

In my work I am concerned with the general concepts of movement and change and specifically with the profoundness of the idea that we are touched by fiber from the moment of birth until the moment of death. This accessibility of textiles combined with the vast historical foundation of textiles allows for abundant exploration as an artist.

In her book, On Weaving, Anni Albers (1965) defines weaving as "the making of a pliable plane" (19). She further describes six structures used to create this pliable plane. They are interlacing (which we normally think of as weaving), plaiting or braiding, looping, …

Elements Of Plane Symmetry In Oriental Carpets, Carol Bier

Textile Research Works

Historically, in the Islamic world from Spain to Indonesia, two-dimensional repeat patterns have served as primary means for organizing color and space. The ornamentation of architecture may involve the modifications of a two-dimensional pattern in its application to a three-dimensional surface. All of the uses of pattern, appearing as well on ceramics and metalwork, in book illumination, and textiles, rely upon the repetition of complex or simple designs to form overall repeat patterns of apparent complexity and intricacy. Yet within all the visual diversity and within the variability of regional traditions throughout the Islamic world, there is a common visual …

Graphic Design: Eastern And Western Design Elements In Visual Communication, Li-Ying Bao

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

To pursue the combination of Eastern and Western aesthetics in visual communication, I came to study in the United States from China. As a graphic designer, the juxtaposition of my Chinese and American education and working experiences enable me to perceive and approach design works cross-culturally. My thesis is the continuous exploration of the affinity between Eastern and Western design elements in visual communication. In my design works, my intention is to combine the traditional Eastern design methodology, modern Western technology, and contemporary design theories to such an extent that these design elements could enrich each other and produce unique …

Visual Communication Through Illustration, Osie L. Johnson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The images I create are visual interpretations of various literal and non-literal subject matter. They are intended as vehicles for communication, and the expressive content is very important for creating an interaction between the piece and the viewer. In many cases, the message itself, which is derived from one or many ideas combined visually, is of greater importance than the initial intent and finished outcome. Some of the images are simply "constructions" for the sole purpose of experimenting with technical and compositional concerns, with the subject matter serving a minimal role. The greater number of the illustrations focus on technique …

Valuation Of Historic American Picture Frames, 1650-1930, Virginia V. Van Rees

Theses

This study presents a systematic framework for the identification, classification, and valuation of historic American picture frames produced between 1650 and 1930. Traditionally, frames have been overlooked in art historical research, often treated as peripheral to the artworks they surround. However, frames provide critical insights into aesthetic trends, craftsmanship, and cultural values across multiple centuries of American decorative arts. The author outlines a methodology for assessing frame styles, construction techniques, and ornamentation in order to establish reliable standards for appraisal and cataloging.

The work traces the evolution of American frames from colonial adaptations of European models to the richly ornamented …

Symbols And Colors, Linda Eileen Thias

Theses

This thesis explores the creative process and thematic focus in the studio artwork of Linda Eileen Thias, with particular attention to the recurring motifs of orchids and fish. These natural forms serve as both visual inspiration and symbolic anchors in her artistic practice, reflecting her fascination with the elegance of organic design and its capacity for abstraction. The study examines how Thias interprets and reimagines these motifs through multiple mediums, including painting, ceramics, and fabric-based work, thereby creating a body of art that is both unified in theme and diverse in execution.

A key aspect of her process involves the …

Reciprocating Transformations, Joyce A. Bryerton

Dissertations and Theses

The paintings in this thesis project began with a study of various representational images, both personal and symbolic. It included the exploration of assorted media and different styles of execution in a search for imagery to represent the scope of my life experience. This search involved a method of working that excluded preconceived images. The original images evolved into an abstract state which alludes directly to the figurative and organic nature of the earlier work.
