Art textiles are creative works that utilize fibers, fabrics, and weaving techniques as a form of artistic expression. They encompass a range of practices, including quilting, embroidery, tapestry, and fabric sculpture, often combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary ideas. Artists use textiles not just for functional purposes but to evoke themes, tell stories, or explore cultural identity. This art form highlights the tactile, visual, and conceptual qualities of textiles, transforming everyday materials into meaningful, visually engaging pieces that challenge and expand the boundaries of textile and art worlds.
