- W1017166881 abstract "My thesis explores the role of textile both as a medium in contemporary art practice and,historically, as an Australian social and cultural artefact. I argue that textile is intimatelyassociated with the creation and maintenance of identity. As such, textile may betheorised as a technique of power within our social and political system. The thesisproposes a theory of power, based upon the theories of social scientist, KennethBoulding, and philosopher, Michel Foucault. A notion of power that is integrative, thatinspires complicity on the basis of a common and ultimately rewarding identity, providesa fruitful context for the consideration of textile, a medium associated with both publicand private spaces. I examine the uses of textile in social, religious, political andceremonial systems (flags, banners, religious vestments and military regalia) as well asevaluating its traditionally recognised place as a domestic artefact.Within contemporary art practice and theory, identity is a current issue. To a considerableextent this is a result of feminist theory and philosophy, which is firmly rooted in ananalysis of contemporary society and the construction of identity within it. I explore theimpact of feminist theory and its interaction with the textile arts, especially during thefinal quarter of the twentieth century. I consider in some depth the concept of space andplace and its division into areas designated as public and private, as these ideas impactprofoundly upon the issue of identity.I examine the history of textile practice in Australia, by considering museum collectionsas well as historical examples of work made by embroiderers and lace makers, textiledesigners and makers of ceremonial and religious textile pieces. I consider its use as acultural and political voice through banners, as used, for instance, by trade unions.Following on from this, I look at the inspirations of Australian textile artists and surveythe effect of art galleries and their collecting policies on contemporary Australian textileart practice. The art/craft debate is revisited before examining the history and role of theTamworth Fibre Textile Biennial. The Biennial is discussed in tandem with an analysis ofartist responses received to a questionnaire that I designed specifically for use in thisthesis. Current developments in the Biennial and the questionnaire data are used as thebarometer of Australian contemporary textile art development.In summary, the thesis addresses the historical association of textile with issues ofidentity and power, and considers the ways in which contemporary artists work with thetextile medium in the light of such associations." @default.
