Fiber Sculpture
Fiber sculpture is an art form that uses various materials like yarn, fabric, and natural fibers to create three-dimensional works. Artists manipulate these materials through techniques such as weaving, knotting, and stitching to produce intricate designs and textures. Fiber sculptures can range from small, delicate pieces to large installations that fill entire spaces.
This medium often emphasizes the tactile qualities of the materials, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork on a sensory level. Fiber sculpture is part of the broader category of textile art, which includes other forms like tapestry and embroidery. Artists like Louise Bourgeois have famously incorporated fiber into their work, exploring themes of memory and identity.
