Artist's Statement:I have been exploring the cultural roots and contemporary imagery of the fiber art movement that evolved from the study of some aspects of textile traditions. These traditions, which encompass an extraordinary variety of materials, processes and most importantly visual messages, are integrated with my interests in feminist concerns, current issues in the arts and an abiding love for ethnic and tribal textiles. An artist is concerned mainly with the visual message, that culminating image - the medium is usually irrelevant. Professor Westfall's courses included the study of on-loom (including computer jacquard), off-loom, surface design from painted paper to completed project, textile history and papermaking. Carol Westfall retired from University teaching in July of 2002. Her areas of expertise and research can be seen in her Portfolio below. |
