Research On Visual And Tactile Dimension Of Fiber Art

Because of the material’s special artistic language and expression,fiber art presents a unique affinity.Whether the hard and soft texture from natural, man-made fiber materials, or the behavior of the fiber art workers manual labor has contact with the sense of touch, that make the study of modern art from common vision research to focus on more other senses.Tactile have an important role in the study of fiber raw materials and explore the art of artistic creation from finished products.We should not only study from the perspective of visual fiber art, but also need the other senses to unscramble fiber art, then use more ways to understand art and express themselves.Let the tactile senses better integrate into art and life is the significance of my study.The Famous art historian and thinker Alois Riegl earlier proposed the relevance of visual and art history, through the study of art history raised the attention of "touch" and found a new perspective in the field of visual art.Creation of tactile in fiber art is inseparable from the comprehensive understanding of the philosophy, psychology, epistemology and the history of fiber art。The fiber art has a long history, The ancients used their hand knit straw rope knotting chronicle,used the warm fiber material covering themselves that reflected the attention of tactile in the fiber material. The traditional fabric and contemporary fiber art are all have this evolution and inheritance process.The modern fiber art are more concerned about the relevance of visual and tactile which allows us to study the art of visual language in addition to their own performance, the material itself has become an important part.In the process of creating works with fiber material, artists use the tactile experience of fiber materials, in the direct contact with the material, keen to capture the different feelings of touch in various materials, form its own material view and concept of space. They make the tactile sensations into art form language.This thesis discusses the correlation between fiber art and tactile, especially to explore the unique of fiber art in the context of the tension in the visual and tactile.Its unique artistic language in the context of contemporary art has a very specific vision of the power of touch. At the same time,the feature of touch the skin makes the artists and the audience together.
