TEXTure

Texture is an important element of art which engages both the sense of sight and touch to create depth, evoke emotion, and add visual interest. In visual arts, texture is the surface quality of a work referring to how an object feels (the actual texture) or would feel if touched (the implied visual texture). Implied Visual texture is an illusion created on a 2-dimensional surface through techniques like brush strokes, lines, patterns etc.

As fibre artists, actual texture is one of the primary reasons we love our medium but in this challenge the artists were asked to also focus on implied visual texture. The artists were also asked to include an element of text with no restriction on script or language.
