摘要：The aim of this study was to investigate the ways in which textile materials and
techniques are expressed in contemporary art in Finland. The first phase of data
collection was to identify a population of Finnish artists who use textile craft-based
forms in their art and who produce their works themselves. After that, six
discretionary selected artists’ works were analyzed using essence analysis based on
photographs and artists’ statements. The analysis brought out the reciprocal and
complementary dialogue between art and craft, contributing to an ongoing debate
about topical issues and the valuation of everyday relationships and objects. Artists
are viewing their work from an artistic perspective but also basing their process in
the appreciation of craft. The works of art portray mental associations with the help of craft techniques and materials. This article argues that the dialogue between art
and craft helped these artists cross over borders and traditions.
