Title:	The Art of Found Objects : Interviews with Texas Artists
Series:	Joe and Betty Moore Texas Art Series, number eighteen
Authors:	Bunch, Robert Craig
Publication Information:	Ed.: First edition. College Station : Texas A&M University Press. 2016
Resource Type:	eBook.
Description:	In this first book of interviews with visual artists from across Texas, more than sixty artists reflect on topics from formative influences and inspirations to their common engagement with found materials. Beyond the art itself, no source is more primary to understanding art and artist than the artist's own words. After all, who can speak with more authority about the artist's influences, motivations, methods, philosophies, and creations? Since 2010, Robert Craig Bunch has interviewed sixty-four of Texas'finest artists, who have responded with honesty, clarity, and—naturally—great insight into their own work. None of these interviews has been previously published, even in part. Incorporating a striking, full-color illustration of each artist's work, these absorbing self-examinations will stand collectively as a reference of lasting value.

Fiber Arts

Merrill Commeau, fiber artist, Massachusetts

textile study group of new york

Infrastructure supporting the recognition and development of fiber arts has increased over the 20th century. Fiber arts study groups have proven to be particularly important in this regard. Two groups of note include: 1) the Textiles Study Group located in the U.K.; and 2) the Textile Study Group of New York. Members associated with both groups have made significant contributions to the field as artists, teachers, and authors.

https://textilestudygroup.co.uk/ -established 1973, began with a focus on embroidery and expanded to a wider focus on the fiber arts, particularly the delivery of education, membership is highly selective, requiring close scrutiny of each applicants work; maintains a core group of about 25 teachers

https://www.tsgny.org/ has a broader mission of promotion of appreciation of fiber arts and support of artists working in this area; established in 1977; meets monthly during the academic year in the NYC area; broader interest in serving to inspire artists and afficionados and to support networks that will build fiber arts opportunities.
