Textile Talk conversation with Annie Lopez and R. Skye Tafoya
TEXTILE TALK: TALKING ABOUT BOOKS
On Wednesday, August 18, at 2pm EST (convert to your time zone), I joined artists Annie Lopez and Rhiannon Skye Tafoya in a conversation about book arts:
Three artists discussed their use of fiber-based techniques to create work in non-traditional book and book inspired formats that addresses familial, communal, and cultural narratives. Annie Lopez uses cyanotype and stitching to create dimensional works that feature social commentary and family histories. Rhiannon Skye Tafoya translates the traditional weaving techniques learned from her grandmother to forge dialogs within and outside community. Alisa Banks uses needlework to consider the performative and sensorial potential of the book through narratives that explore multiple identities.
