There is such a fine line between craft and fine art these days. I suppose it’s decided by the artists themselves. (I’d love to hear your opinions on this!) By Hand, new from Princeton Architectural Press, features fine artists who use techniques that most people would consider crafty- sewing, knitting, rug making, carving, book-binding and collage. The results are amazing. Robyn Love knits site specific blankets and installs them around the streets, wrapping public scupltures, parking meters or sign poles. Robert Conger weaves rugs. One of them is a scene from the Price is Right called The Big Wheel. Kent Henricksen embroiders scenes into found fabrics and textiles he makes. And there are twenty nine other artists featured along with artist statements and photos of their work.
