Summary:

"Traces the career of Colombian artist Olga de Amaral (born 1932). Drawing on techniques like plaiting and wrapping and materials such as horsehair and gold leaf, Amaral's transformative woven sculptures result from a lifetime of experimentation. This book provides new scholarship by contextualizing Amaral's work within contemporary and fiber arts"-- Provided by publisher.
