Celebrate the amazing evolution of beadwork from a simple craft to expressive art. Every stunning sculpture, vessel, figure, loomed and woven work, free-form installation, and piece of jewelry shown here in glorious color photos is gallery-quality and thoroughly unique. The artists use a wide variety of techniques, including embroidery, gluing, and hand and loom weaving. They take inspiration from sources ranging from Greek mythology and Egyptian statuary to natural forms and life experiences. A decorative craft transformed into high art.
