Feminist Subjectivities in Fiber Art and Craft: Shadows of Affect

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 artlong disparaged in the wake of the highlow dichotomy of late Modernismis, in fact, well-positioned to lead art at the vanguard of affect theory and twenty-first-century feminist subjectivities.
