Textile Landscapes: embroidery, weaving and appliqué as landscape
Karas Gallery has opened a show in which not a single work is painted.
One thing is common to every work: the image arises from interlacing, not from a brushstroke. The artists use techniques long considered applied, and turn them on a genre that belonged to painting for centuries.
The gallery hung the works lower than paintings usually go. The reason is technical: textile reads differently when you can come close enough to see the thread.
