The Dimensions Of Weaving

The Fiber Art is presented by various forms at the exhibitions of contemporary art today. It is obvious that the Fiber Art is playing a very important and extremely active role at the stage of art. However, if we trace the development of Fiber Art, from traditional tapestry to contemporary Fiber Art, whether we refer to form or content, to materials or techniques, we will find out that it has gone through a long process of change. The former Yugoslavia woman artist Jagoda Buic (1930 - ) reshaped and expanded the tapestry by her own artistic language and renamed it to"Fiber Art". We won't forget her indelible contribution as a Fiber Art pioneer of the sixties and seventies.The boundaries between hand craft and art were blurred by Jagoda Buic's art works. The different fiber materials were expressing different language. A different kind of artistic thought was born by the soft materials. She adopted the policy of reference and development for cultural heritage, which made her art works to have a profound connotation and a distinctive personal style. The Slavic folk art was reborn by her hand. Not only it gained its glory again but also became a worldwide art form. Her previous experience with stage set and costume design brought to her infinite creativity and affected deeply her tapestry art. By her innovative bass-relief and three-dimensional tapestry, she changed the tapestry's fate of just being the copy of pictures always attached to the wall and transformed it to a new art form, injecting new characteristics and greater vitality into this ancient art.Hereby we expound Jagoda Buic's tapestry art at the points of weaving language and dimensions, communicating and impacting with the materials, the tradition and her heart and we explore her great success and achievements on the road of development and research of tapestry, by which the infinite possibilities for Fiber Art's future are revealed.
