In conjunction with her multi-part exhibition habitus at The Fabric Workshop and Museum, MacArthur Fellow and visual artist Ann Hamilton talked with us about what compels her to work with textiles. Hamilton references her own early experiences of making textile works by hand, as well as the prevalence of cloth in our day-to-day experiences. “There are very view times in our lives that we are not in some way touching cloth,” Hamilton says. “Cloth is the hand that is always surrounding us; it’s our constant companion.”
habitus is on view, with major support from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, through January 8, 2017. Learn more on The Fabric Workshop and Museum's website.>>
