This book interprets the fiber art and craft-inspired sculpture by eight US and Latin American women artists whose works incite embodied affective experience. Grounded in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, John Corso-Esquivel posits craft as a material act of intuition. The book provocatively asserts that fiber art--long disparaged in the wake of the high-low dichotomy of late Modernism--is, in fact, well-positioned to lead art at the vanguard of affect theory and twenty-first-century feminist subjectivities.
