Re: [lace] Lace as Art

Dear Phil, Thank you for the suggestion of Vicky Taylor. I was unaware of her work, but it is quite interesting. I am familiar with the Love Lace competition and have the catalog which I am using for a reference. As you say, it has the broadest interpretation of lace in it. While Love Lace was a

Thank you Phil--I appreciate the link to some terrific contemporaneous lace art! Interesting to note that several Powerhouse exhibitors were also featured in the article that I mentioned earlier. Which brings to mind--the lace teahouse project. Perhaps someone else has the details as I've

Devon - I have been enjoying the wide ranging discussion engendered by your original questions. Did you know about the "Love Lace" competition and exhibition which was held in Sydney, New South Wales 2011/2013. Some wonderful things here, and the broadest possible interpretation of the word

[lace] Lace as Art?

I too, along with other lacemakers, have been rather too busy to join this somewhat ridiculous discussion. Invited to the IOLI Convention in Indianapolis, I've been teaching some of the techniques that allow for ideas to be expressed in bobbin lace in a painterly manner. Is this Art? Dear me,

I would definitely include Agnes Herczeg of Hungary in a show like this.  I own one of her pieces, and it is beautiful! Her pieces are a genius mix of needle lace and bobbin lace.  Check out her gallery. Her site is www.agnesherczeg.com Saving up to buy another piece. Enjoy! PegIn hot and humid

Re: [lace] Lace as Art

Devon, that’s difficult to answer. What is it keeping our eyes and being overwhelm from what we see? In my opinion it’s something perfectly personal. Therefor I can’t say what I would advise to work. To make lace works acceptable for public is to try again and again and to explain why you did

Re: [lace] Lace as Art

think so. As far as what I would consider art in the lace world, h, I'd say likely some of the things done by the well known lace people, like Ulrike Lohr/Voelcker, Kortelahti, etc. Pieces that either depict scenes (ie framed and hung on the wall), or that are things in and of themselves

I guess I should be clearer about my motives for asking these questions. I am trying to put together a proposal for an art show in an art museum that will consist of pieces of contemporary fiber art made with bobbin lace and needle lace technique. The idea is to present works that show

Hello All! Mary Corbet's site (www.needlenthread.com) posted a link to Dorotheum a portrait with some very lovely lace. The collar is pretty but the striped skirt (strips of fabric strips of reticella???) is divine. Yowza! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA - To unsubscribe send email
