Christy Matson

Her abstract, constantly evolving compositions resemble paintings, and yet they are deeply rooted in textile history. Using a digital jacquard loom together with the language of historic weaving techniques, Matson honors the centuries-old craft while also embracing a new approach to technology. Her works allow viewers to engage with textiles of the past in thoughtful, innovative ways. A continuation of the Milwaukee Art Museum's Currentsseries, which highlights new trends in contemporary art, this volume brings together nearly 50 of Matson's most recent works from the last five years, and is the first publication to explore Matson's wide-ranging textile art.
