Fragmentation and Repair for Mixed-Media

Discover the rich creative possibilities of fragmentation and repair in textile art.

Drawing on her own practice, Shelley explains how she reconstructs and reassembles cloth, paper and other materials to create new pieces, often incorporating found objects and items she has collected over the years to add depth and emotional resonance. From piercing and devoré to patching and darning……what will be your favourite?

The concept of repair is certainly not new and we see it as a feature within many textile art publications in the world we currently live in. Shelley Rhodes touches upon some really inspiring themes and concepts. 

This book is aimed at particularly those who enjoy exploring textile art which does not simply include fabric and those who are looking for new ideas and ways of exploring textiles by including mixed media.
