Feminist Subjectivities in Fiber Art and Craft

"This book interprets the fiber art and craft-inspired sculpture by eight US and Latin American women artists whose works incite embodied affective experience. Grounded in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, John Corso Esquivel posits craft as a material act of intuition. The book provocatively asserts that fiber art--long disparaged in the wake of the high-low dichotomy of late Modernism--is, in fact, well-positioned to lead art at the vanguard of affect theory and twenty-first-century feminist subjectivities."--
