Fine art in modern society often refers to paintings and sculpture – mediums that have long been at the top of the pile of the art world. But, as times shift and move with technology, mediums that were once considered “craft” are now merging with this archaic idea of fine art as painting.
Ana Teresa Barboza’s work is a great example of a craft technique that has evolved into high brow art. Her embroidered landscapes are intricately created using thread, crocheting and weaving techniques, but come together to form unusual landscapes that question both the currency of nature and our view of it.
