Author: Timothy Wilcox
Publisher: Black Dog Pub Limited
ISBN: 9781907317248
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
Tapestry: A Woven Narrative initially focuses on European tapestry and features significant historical images derived from extensive international tapestry collections. The book addresses the developing status of historical factory houses, the differing roles of tapestry artists and manufacturers, discusses how these roles have changed over time and looks in further detail at the socio-historical context of the featured works. The book also looks in detail at the current tapestry scene, beginning in earnest with the textile work of Henry Moore 20 years ago. Now, established artists across the globe, significantly in North America, Australia and New Zealand, have begun appropriating the medium to present their work and ideas in a previously unexplored fashion, creating a fascinating juxtaposition between the socio-cultural documentation of many historical works and the more abstract, modern and personal themes often dealt with in tapestries today. The book includes works from notable modern artists such as Annika Ekdahl, Chuck Close, Fred Tomaselli, Grayson Perry, Francesca Lowe, Jaime Gili, Henry Moore, KB Kitaj and Kara Walker. Tapestry: A Woven Narrative also discusses the practical aspects of tapestry production, taking in both historical methods and those employed by the few specialist tapestry houses flourishing in the world.

Pages : 47
Book Description
The touching story of "The Adventures of a Group of Friends in a Treehouse" will warm your heart. It's about a trip through time and the power of friendship that lasts forever. Sarah, Sam, Lily, Ben, and Mia are the five friends who are at the center of the story. It is in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by hills with gentle slopes and a river. Their adventures center around the magical tree house that is hidden among the plants and birds that live in a tall oak tree. The treehouse is full of surprises and new things to find thanks to its hardwood floors, big windows, and Sam's time-traveling remote control. Everyone in the group of buddies has their own unique set of skills and hobbies. Ben thinks things through analytically, Mia is a great artist, Lily tells interesting stories, Sam is a creative mind, and Sarah is a brave leader. They go on trips through time and history that take them from ancient Egypt to the Wild West and even into the far future. They learn important lessons about empathy, how to make a good difference in other people's lives, and how to protect the environment while they're traveling. These lessons help them make choices and guide their actions as they try to figure out the mysteries of time and history. As they travel, their friendship gets stronger, and their treehouse comes to represent how strong their bond is. It's possible for them to be there, follow their dreams, and change history one trip at a time. As the seasons change and the friends get bigger, their adventures also change. As they visit historical sites, talk to famous people, and travel to fantastical places, they use the lessons they've learned along the way. Their treehouse is a safe place to be, a source of peace and inspiration, and every day it reminds them of how magical it is to explore with a friend. Friends know that their adventures will never end because they always have their handy remote that lets them go back in time. They honor the thrill of finding, the beauty of difference, and the strength of friendship that lasts a lifetime. At the end of the story, the friends raise a toast to the new things they're about to do, ready to face the unknown, deal with problems, and keep enjoying their great trip. "The Adventures of a Group of Friends in a Treehouse" is a touching story that shows how important friendship is, how exciting it is to find something new, and how lasting the effects of shared experiences can be. This is how the story starts: A big oak tree used to stand in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by hills and a river that meandered. It had branches that reached the sky, and a wonderful woodland refuge was hidden above ground among the plants and birds that lived there. This one-of-a-kind refuge wasn't just any building; it was the center of endless adventures and loyal friendships. The small town that loved this mysterious oak tree was a peaceful place to be. The gentle slopes of the hills around the town added to its rural beauty, making the scenery look like a lush tapestry that is always changing. The winding river that flows through the middle of the town tells stories about exciting things that are about to happen. The huge oak tree watched over the beauty of nature and was a tribute to the careful creation of time. The wind and rain had twisted and broken its branches, but they still looked beautiful as they reached for the blue sky above. Under the lush plants and the pleasant sound of birds chirping, a mysterious forest retreat stayed hidden. This beautiful treehouse was covered by a canopy that made it look even more beautiful. This wasn't just any treehouse; it was a world where magic never ended, and friendship never broke. It was a paradise for people with unrestrained curiosity and innocent dreams. Friendships and ideas lived together happily there. The friends who lived in this amazing treehouse were as different as the colors of the land around them. Sarah was their brave boss, and she was excited to take on new challenges and go on fun trips. As the group's master creator, Sam could make amazing things out of the simplest materials. Lily, the entertainer in their neighborhood, was always interested in new things and could make up stories that took them to other places. Ben, who was always sensible, helped them stay grounded when their dreams got too high. Mia, the amazing artist, used her creativity to make something common and very interesting. On a beautiful morning, the friends got together in their favorite treehouse, which was bathed in warm golden sunlight. With sharp eyes, Sam showed off a new idea he had worked on. He had a small, bright gadget under his arm that had dials, buttons, and a screen that flashed. "What marvel have you made, Sam?" Lily asked, the strange object piqued her interest. With a big grin on his face, Sam said, "Behold, my friends, a time-traveling remote! With this ingenious creation, we can embark on temporal voyages through history itself, all while ensconced within the comforts of our cherished treehouse."

Book Description
“Riveting . . . American Tapestry is not only the remarkable story of the First Lady’s family, but also a microcosm of this country’s story as well.” —USA Today In this extraordinary feat of genealogical research—in the tradition of The Hemmingses of Monticello and Slaves in the Family—author Swarns, a respected Washington-based reporter for the New York Times, tells the fascinating and hitherto untold story of Ms. Obama’s black, white, and multiracial ancestors; a history that the First Lady herself did not know. At once epic, provocative, and inspiring, American Tapestry is more than a true family saga; it is an illuminating mirror in which we may all see ourselves. “The First Family becomes ever more fascinating—and ever more representative of the nation as a whole—in Rachel Swarns’s terrific investigation into the roots of Michelle Obama . . . This is a most compelling read and more evidence for our interconnectedness as a people.” —Henry Louis Gates, Jr. “Rachel Swarns has not only excavated, with painstaking care, the family tree that is Michelle Obama’s, but, with great insight and beautiful prose, has revealed the complex, eye-opening, and disconcerting experiences that are America. This is a work of impressive historical imagination and deep cultural significance.” —Steven Hahn, Pulitzer Prize-winning author “Richly detailed . . . A lushly layered portrait of the nation itself.” —The Boston Globe “A fascinating account of the First Lady’s family . . . Few important women come from such raw places. The book makes you remember why the Obamas . . . seemed so new, so implausible . . . Extraordinary.” —The New York Times
