moving-image still by Molly Dario The giant elephant in the room which few seem to want to address is the obvious…the over-commercialization of the arts. Now, don’t be mistaken.

Textiles are amongst the most misunderstood and underappreciated artforms in contemporary art, precisely because of the fragile and unstable nature of the fiber materials.
