By Hand

"By Hand" presents an interesting and diverse group of thirty-two artists,who are discarding their paintbrushes for methods and materials traditionally associated with craft. In these laborious works of art, the process becomes important. From screen printed t-shirts to embroidered toys and knitted landmines, the artists profess their love of methodology while revealing their sometimes obsessive work habits.This book should appeal to anyone who is interested in contemporary culture and D.I.Y. trends.
