This month, we focus on three artists all of whom use textiles, but for different reasons. I had planned to write about Elaine Reichek, an artist who uses thread rather than paint to create her work. It must have been kismet that Anna Leung chose to write about Yayoi Kusama, a woman conceptual artist who works with many materials, but most prominently with textile-covered objects adorned with her signature polka dots. And Floriana Piqué writes about Alighiero Boetti, an Italian artist of an earlier generation, also a conceptual artist who uses embroidery in his work and is best know for his series of embroidered maps of the world. 

I hope this reading brings you warmth and interesting thoughts for the equinox.
