Other · 38 pages
Catalogue of a 1975 exhibition of fiber art by Eleanor Merrill at the Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College. It includes a foreword on the art versus craft debate, a long interview between curator Ellen H. Johnson and the artist, a biographical chronology, and a catalogue of seven illustrated works. The interview covers her choice of wool breeds, rope, jute, sisal and manila, scavenged materials, large looms, twining, and the landscape, biblical, and family themes in her weavings. Black-and-white photographs show the works, sketchbook pages, and the artist.
