One of the oldest media in the world, textile art is defined by the pattern and color of the fibers and threads used to create it. This constant remains true whether those “fibers and threads” be made from polyester, cotton, silk, viscose, glass, silicone, silver or gold. We asked artists to create one or two special works that can be defined as “textiles” using this criteria of pattern and color to comprise a special collection that reinvents the textile medium.
