TextileArtist.org has featured Orly Cogan this week, a very dynamic, contemporary fiber artist. Her work is truly amazing... sometimes I feel I could fantasize a piece like some of hers but I doubt I would have the self-assurance to bring my inner suppositions to life as she has done.
She enjoys taking vintage "women's work" and "re-purposing" it to a more modern, feminist version. She sees herself as a collaborator with these past women artists, adding her own versions of today's more unladylike reality and wit that she sees in modern women.
