Dimensional Cloth: Sculpture by Contemporary Textile Artists

I was pleased to be asked for images of my work for this book, and I am totally blown away by how beautiful it is! The organization is well thought out on this broad subject. The great variety of artists and styles included makes it a true compendium of the state of our craft today. Bravo Andra! and thank you for this gift to the artists and all those interested in 21st century art.

I was pleased to see that the editor was careful to minimize artist duplication with another Schiffer publication (and must have) called "Artistry in Fiber, Vol.2: Sculpture." If you have the other, you will be very happy with this one. There is more text in this book, with short write-ups about each artist (as opposed to just artist statements), which is often more insightful and useful than the generally obtuse language of artist statement. I am the librarian for my fiber arts guild, and purchased this book for our collection. I was so taken by it that I may purchase another copy for myself.

A visually stunning book, and a fascinating read as well. Fiber art is such a diverse and intricate genre, with a rich history, and the artists working in the medium today have roots in its origins and a wide-open approach to depicting the world they live in today. Andra Stanton has curated an encyclopedia of the best of fiber sculpture today, inspiring to artists exploring the world of cloth and thread, and anyone who loves three dimensional work of any kind. Her beautiful book honors and explores the works and thoughts of these engaging creators.

This is a spectacular book. The sculptural cloth art pieces, as shown in the excellent photos throughout the book, are awe-inspiring. The author's understanding and framing of this kind of artwork, and her descriptions of the artists' intentions and achievements, substantially deepened my appreciation of the stunning visuals. If you haven't appreciated cloth art before, you definitely will after reading this book.

The book “Dimensional Cloth” by Andra Stanton and published by Schiffer Publishing is an outstanding illustration that the Textile Arts are thriving in all sorts of directions. This book contains unique and unusual 3-dimensional textiles that are a true inspiration to the textile art collector, textile art enthusiast and textile artist. Great job by Author and Publisher!
