Working within a renewed interest in craft practices, Christy Matson creates woven pictures that explore imagination and memory through the layered history of textile production, while advocating for issues surrounding sustainability. Using a digital jacquard loom together with the language of historic techniques, Matson honours the centuries-old craft while also embracing a new approach to technology. This volume brings together nearly 50 of Matson’s most recent works from the last five years.Her abstract, constantly evolving compositions resemble paintings, and yet they are deeply rooted in textile history. Her works allow viewers to engage with textiles of the past in thoughtful, innovative ways. A continuation of the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Currents series, which highlights new trends in contemporary art, this volume brings together nearly 50 of Matson’s most recent works from the last five years, and is the first publication to explore Matson's wide-ranging textile art.
