"The art of Lenore Tawney is multifaceted--yet all of one piece. A personal, hidden poetry transfues it, whether the medium is fiber, collage, assemblage, or postcard. And the message, which is always fugitive, hides beneath a flexible technique.... Above all, however, it is her woven work that sets her apart as an innovator and a pioneer.... It is no exaggeration to claim her as very likely the earliest animating spirit behind modern fiber art. And invarialbe she uses the materials she works with, no matter how unorthodox, to create her own idiosyncratic vision."--from foreword.
Contents: A tribute to Lenore / Paul J. Smith -- Messages from a journey / Kathleen Nugent Mangan -- A very personal word for L.T. / Erika Billeter.
