Hmmmmmm. I work with textiles because I like textiles. I have no problem with mixed media pieces but as your post mentions, now paint and ceramics and all kinds of other media may be eligible, without any textiles in the piece whatsoever. I'm not convinced this shift will benefit art quilts or other textile art. How can excellence in textile art advance when textiles are no longer a require aspect?? My fear is that the 'traditional' mediums will given preference and be lauded as fine art, and textiles will once again be marginalized as craft, and 'women's' craft, at that. Time will tell.<br /><br />Congrats on the award, great news!magicmoonmusingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255246775296758927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-64522995225051249842012-02-25T06:10:53.272-08:002012-02-25T06:10:53.272-08:00I guess with being an artist first, then a quilter...I guess with being an artist first, then a quilter later on in life, I do have some difficulty seeing quilts at judged shows that are copies of other people's art work. In an art show, these copies would be rejected with a stern warning.Quiltedtimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210015070612659978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-23860803790916146752012-02-23T08:08:33.299-08:002012-02-23T08:08:33.299-08:00Elizabeth, I saw this quilt at the LH on Tuesday n...Elizabeth, I saw this quilt at the LH on Tuesday night and it is magnificent. I think that the quilting sets off the fabrics perfectly.
