Piecing pages: on working in fragments

Abstract

"Piecing Pages is a (visual) reader which collects the work of fifteen artists, writers and designers across twelve contributions. Each contribution offers insights into a practice or research project that in some way embodies the notion of working in fragments. Together, these contributions unravel how a traditional women's craft technique - assembling scraps - continues to influence and inform the fragmented working methods of designers, artists and writers today." -- summary.
