People are really different /I'm a rare hand stitching artist /I haven't been trained at all and my work is about that /I invented my own art form and sold my first piece of art for 2000 600/and can teach others just fine/most people have lots of technique and nothing creational to say/having something creational to say means so much in great art/the only way I work on art is in understanding what i'm doing /I develop my art with out touching it /then when I do a piece I figure it out as I go /teaching problem solving matters more then skill/and human soul work matters more then tech training /good art has lost its way in the hardline world- - - leaning into putting life flow into art /momentums of soul and the scrappy sacred matters more then fancy stitches ever could /great art wasn't made by the intellect /its made by heart spurs and momentum of feeling!lol
actually I really am not interested too much in what artists have to say, I much rather see their work. After fast forwarding to the next picture I realized you don't have too much to show. giving this video a thumbs up because I like the idea behind your interviews but PLEASE more pics!!!
I disagree. I think studying is helpful if you want to go down the teaching route. But to be an artist - this attitude is elitist to me and has always been what puts ppl off. If you are passionate, you will self study and have an interest in the history of textile.
Ty for this talk with Anne Kelly. 🇨🇦
I received Textile Portraits as a gift for Christmas. Such a lovely and inspirational book.
