9th Valcellina Award - second part

9th Valcellina Award - second part




      If you caught my Valcellina Award post from last week, this is the follow up with the award winners. In my opinion some of the awarded works were leaning more towards conceptual art than textile/fiber art, but that is, obviously, my opinion. The photographs are for the most part details, if you are interested in a particular piece I suggest you to research that particular artist.

      Personally I find some of the choices made by the judges discussible. Art as we all know is subjective.
And if you are wondering what these two last posts have to do with this little blog remember I am an artist and besides … “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” ― Coco Chanel
