Textiles and meaning
‘Readers and viewers will have their eyes opened to the fact that the material is always also a medium and thus a part of the message. The materiality (his italics) of the art work can thus become the carrier of multiple cultural-historical and socio-political references, for any preoccupation with the textiles of our time is inevitably also an excursion into industrial and colonial history.’ P7
