| “Everything a Circle” conveys the tedium and tiresome redundancy of woman’s handwork that so often adorns textiles throughout the ages — and how women enrich lives one small loop, stitch and quilt square at a time. - Lily Zane |
Textile artist and designer, Lily Zane, is a friend and colleague whose work
never ceases to inspire me. She is taking part in New York Textile Month and
has created “The Encore Encapsulations Interactive Exhibit” which “explores the
relationship of artisanal textiles of past and present and our relationship to
them. The intricate Encore Encapsulation textile collages are layered with an
audio and visual component which demonstrate the ritual, functionality,
adornment and our intimate relationship between what we own and what little we
know about this stuff we call fabric. Our aim in examining the past and
outlining the importance of the maker; we gain a greater understanding of the
products we consume and live with and the importance of preserving our rich and
diversified textile traditions and keeping them alive and vital.”
One
of Lily’s collages which speaks to me and my love of textiles is entitled “A
Woman’s Work is Never Done.”
