The author of this volume is an Assistant Professor of the History of Art at the University of British Columbia. It began life as a doctoral dissertation about the theoretical writings coming out of the Bauhaus weaving workshop, and is not a text on weaving techniques. The following quote from Anni Albers' On Weaving (1965) in the preface gives you a good flavour of the concerns explored: 'Just as it is possible to go from any place to any other, so also, starting from a defined and specialised field, can one arrive at a realisation of ever-extending relationships. Thus tangential subjects come into view. The thoughts, however, can, I believe, be traced back to the event of a thread'.
