Ann Glazer considers the ideas and techniques associated with the centuries-old craft of textile embroidery while employing modern technology and research guided by her faith in intuition to create “textiles of our time.” The results are large tapestries containing, what appears to be, ancient symbols and iconography. Motifs of animals, insects, and plants can easily be identified, while at other times Glazer combines or morphs them into abstract shapes and designs. Often details appear to have disintegrated due to age and wear, yet on closer examination the anticipated traditional stitches have been replaced by digital pixel images printed or collaged directly onto rich velvets and fabrics.
