Sinossi

"Statues Hidden" unearths the captivating stories behind sculptures deliberately concealed throughout history, revealing how these acts reflect significant societal shifts, religious transformations, or political unrest.

 
The book posits that hiding a statue is rarely arbitrary but a meaningful act offering insights into lost cultures and the complex interplay between art, power, and belief. For example, statues were sometimes buried as part of religious rituals, signifying deeper symbolic meanings, or hidden to protect them from invaders, highlighting the vulnerability of artistic heritage during conflict.

 
The book embarks on an exploration of diverse case studies, beginning with the motivations behind statue concealment, such as religious iconoclasm and political censorship. It then progresses to examine statues buried in religious rituals, sculptures hidden from invaders, and examples of defacement followed by concealment.

 
By drawing upon archaeological reports, historical documents, and art historical analyses, "Statues Hidden" provides a comprehensive account, while also addressing ethical considerations involved in unearthing and interpreting these hidden artifacts. This approach offers readers a meticulously researched and accessible narrative suitable for a wide audience interested in art, history, and archaeology.

Jeanette Appleton

New ideas for working with nature to nurture creativity in felted and embroidered textile art.
Immerse yourself in nature and rewild your creative practice with inspiration from textile artist Jeanette Appleton. With a focus on the versatile medium of felt, she takes readers through a series of ideas for working with nature to boost creativity, inspire, and make us more sustainable as artists. The book covers:
• How to capture the nuances of nature through creating exciting felt surfaces – lines of sea, frosted puddles, hedge and grass – and how to translate them into subtleties of texture and stitch.
• Transforming recycled cloth by bonding memories, mixed-media and found objects into your work.
• Cutting and repairing techniques: making cuts and slits in the layers of fabric to reveal the secret strata of nature beneath, echoing the planet's fragility.
• How to make the best use of sketchbooks, maps and mapping to record inspiration from time spent in nature.
• A variety of strategies for overcoming artist's block, from revisiting past diaries and sketchbooks to interacting differently with your local environment. 
Throughout, the author constantly challenges the felt process, discovering a new creative working practice through connecting with the outside world.
Richly illustrated with exciting examples of the author's beautiful and reflective work, this inspirational and practical guide will appeal to textile and felt artists of all levels.
