Fibers Artists Then And Now

By Dennis Watson


Fiber art is a form of art that uses natural or synthetic fiber as the main component of their artwork. Its significance is based on the artist's labor and focuses on aesthetics rather than function. Fiber Artists MI hugely value this kind of art that they have made a festival honoring it.

Having a livelihood from this is a remarkable inconvenience of truly having a relentless compensation. Specially, when there are essentially more decisions and alternatives available. Furthermore, only a bunch of individuals really perceive and recognize it. It is especially appreciated yet the restriction is extraordinary, more so in Michigan that the rest of the globe.

It is a part of what is known as textile art, one of the oldest art forms, using different materials in creating a masterpiece. This is because feminist artists went beyond the limits of what textiles are for and how textiles can become art in itself. They challenged the norms and embraced styles that were traditionally only considered crafts of women.

Fiber artists' journey started in the 1980s as it is when the industry started to be recognized and began to include various forms, ways, and materials. Fiber art has become more innovative in these years and a lot conceptualized their artwork based on encountered cultural issues. However, parallel to its rise and due to its focus, their screams, especially on feminism, were not only heard but also challenged.

Michigan has classified this as high art. Now, there are a lot of guilds and centers for artists and aspiring ones. They have showcases and celebrations to pay respect and to continue its legacy. They still cry the values of feminism in their works of art. It is evident in everything that they do.

Some do the usual, make a beautiful piece maybe in a frame, embroidered, or huge statues, others make their own bodies the art itself. People are seen with various materials, fabrics, and textiles walking in the streets of Michigan, especially during the festival, with aesthetically pleasing forms.

Manual labor is not given much credit nowadays. It is all about the ease that technology brings and people are drawn to it. That is why not a lot choose this career path. Usually, it is only as good as a part-time job, a hobby, or something women do at home.

Just a number of artists are recognized in this line of work. Moreover, much lesser people have known about them or even heard about this kind of job. Regardless, there are still experts gaining ground toward affirmation presently. Right now, the progress of developments has lead general society to neglect the brilliance in fiber art. People are eaten up by motions of acknowledgment and disregard to idolize others.

Fiber art should be heard all over the world, not only in Michigan. It is beautifully and carefully created by meticulous hands thus, is very difficult to achieve and replicate. It deserves the praise, love, and respect that people only give to themselves. They do not only bring beauty, but they have deep meanings in each and every artwork as well.
