Textile art uses fibre, fabric, and thread as primary materials to create wall-hung works, sculptural pieces, or large-scale installations. Techniques include weaving, embroidery, tapestry, quilting, felting, and macramé. The field has a long history across many cultures and has gained renewed recognition in contemporary art contexts, where textile artists address identity, labour, and the politics of craft.
