About the authors
Contributors
Examines the contradictory issues of community and controversy manifest in contemporary textile art practices, using the major Irish textile work, The Knitting Map, as resonant case study
Jools Gilson is Professor of Creative Practice at
University College Cork, Ireland. She is a transdisciplinary artist
and award-winning radio broadcaster. She directed the textile art
project The Knitting Map from 2003-2005, and has written and
presented on the work internationally.
Nicola Moffat is an independent scholar, poet and artist who
lives and practises in Cork, Ireland. She has published articles in
several journals and edited collections, and her poetry has
appeared in magazines and anthologies. She is a regular contributor
to Ó Bheál, Cork's longest running open mic night and to events
organised in support of Fired! Irish Women Poets.
This is a solid, convincing example of the theoretical
possibilities generated by a collaborative, disputed, ambitious art
project.
