Women Redefining Fiber Art
Long relegated to utility and decor, textile arts underwent a dramatic transformation following World War II. With the Feminist Movement of the 60s and the rise of postmodernist theory in the 80s, fiber artists cemented their trajectory toward the realms of the conceptual, sculptural, and experimental. Works like the monumental weavings of Sheila Hicks and Tanya Aguiñiga’s immersive installations have radically redefined the expectations of textiles from craft to fine art, especially championed by female-identifying artists.
