Synopsis
This title offers a visually stunning celebration of the extraordinarily creative talent of textile artist and designer Ruth E. Funk. Artist, designer, educator, collector, traveller, and philanthropist, Ruth Funk has been bringing the world of textiles to life for more than 25 years. Handmade textiles gathered from her extensive world travels, scouring antique shops for vintage pieces, and sourcing interesting materials from her interior design contacts, Ruth has become the ultimate 'creator of cloth'. She intuitively combines handwoven pieces, appliques, embroidery, braids and ribbons, fabric swatches, and silk panels and turns them into eclectic works of textile art. Filled with more than 300 glorious full-colour photographs, "Cloth and Culture" is a glorious celebration of Funk's remarkable career, her astonishing body of work, and the extraordinary legacy of her talent.
