Description: A comprehensive survey of Abad's visually dazzling and politically prescient works blending fabric and painting This volume surveys three decades of Pacita Abad's multifaceted practice. Published on the occasion of her first - ever retrospective it includes new research and writing by Julia Bryan - Wilson Ruba Katrib Nancy Lim Matthew Villar Miranda Victoria Sung and Xiaoyu Weng an edited oral history about the artist's life and work by Pio Abad and Victoria Sung and never - before - seen artworks and archival materials. Over the course of her career Abad made an exuberant wide - ranging body of work that was ahead of its time in promoting a transcultural worldview. Moving between the Philippines Indonesia Singapore and the US while also spending extended periods in dozens of countries on six continents she interacted with the many artist communities she encountered on her travels. Drawing on her knowledge of global fiber traditions Abad innovated a hybrid art form that she called trapunto painting (from the Italian word trapungere to embroider ). Made by stitching and stuffing her painted canvases as opposed to stretching them over a wood frame the resulting works portability speaks to her peripatetic existence while their association with textiles evokes female non - Western forms of labor that have historically been marginalized as craft. Pacita Abad (1946 2004) was born in Batanes Philippines. Because of her activism against the Marcos regime she was forced to leave for the US in 1970, where she studied Asian history at the University of San Francisco and painting at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington DC and the Art Students League in New York City. Abad created more than 5,000 artworks and had over 60 solo exhibitions in the US Asia Europe Africa and Latin America.
