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 gr

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 los

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 'la

Devon, may I refer you to the Spring 2011 issue of Surface Design? It was serendipitous that I was cleaning my studio over the weekend & found my copy. There are a number of examples that might be right up your alley. Artists include: Iveta Mihalikova, Silvia Federova, Lauran Sundin, Lenka S

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, cou

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 C

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

That is a very difficult question to answer. A lot of that has to do with the 'eye of the beholder'. There have been a lot of things called 'art' where I would go 'really?' It seems to me that often it is about making a statement. Some things I really wonder why something is called art, like th
