Im not sure, without taking anything away from the artist, that this will do the textile art world much good--at least in reading this particular review--when i see this : What goes through the mind of most non-expert viewers, I would suspect, is a wow factor, an immediate acknowledgement how difficult and time consuming it was to produce the work, coupled with a keen appreciation of the talent that went into its creation. Thus a vote is given, not only because the viewer may “like” the piece, but also as a reward for the diligence and craft that went into creating it.” It seems a rather backhanded compliment to acknowledge the talent and then to presume that the average viewer/voter found the length of time to create was what made it art. Then again, time spent in creating something usually predicates knowledge, skill in ones technique and skill and commitment in interpreting ones vision, so one can hope that this WILL make a difference in the art world for Textile as Art.
