Synopsis
Ikat refers to the originally Indonesian art and technique in which warp or weft threads, or both, are tie-dyed before weaving the fabric, creating complex patterns on handwoven textiles. Since time immemorial, master weavers in eastern Indonesia and Timor-Leste have embraced ideas and motifs from elsewhere and integrated them in their own designs. Striking Patterns takes readers into the world of a handicraft that is beloved of both laypeople and experts.
Ikat is practiced primarily in Indonesia, India, and Central and South America, and its techniques have continuously developed over the course of centuries. Foreign influences were absorbed and creatively integrated into local patterns. The main objects of research in this volume are works by female master weavers from eastern Indonesia and Timor-Leste, whose fabrics reflect not only fashion and modernity but also aspects of globalization.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neu -Die vorliegende Publikation nimmt ihre Leser mit auf eine Reise in eine Handwerkskunst, die nicht nur Kenner, sondern auch Laien in ihren Bann zu ziehen vermag. In aufschlussreichen Texten tragen Ethnologen und Kunsthistoriker dazu bei, den umwobenen Forschungsgegenstand aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln kennenzulernen. Ikat, die vor allem in Indonesien, Indien, Mittel- und Südamerika ausgeübte Technik und Kunstform, komplexe Muster auf handgewobenen Textilien zu kreieren, hat sich im Laufe der Jahrhunderte stetig weiterentwickelt. Fremde Einflüsse wurden aufgesogen und in lokalen Mustern kreativ verarbeitet. Im Mittelpunkt des reich bebilderten Buches stehen die Arbeiten von Meisterweberinnen aus Ostindonesien und Timor-Leste. In ihren Stoffen spiegeln sich nicht nur Mode und Modernität, sondern auch Aspekte der Globalisierung. (Text engl.) 208 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 1059696
