| Background This study analyzes examples of modern textile artworks using waste materials. In an era of environ mental pollution and climate crisis, artists also need to think about the choice of materials, and it is necessary to present the artistic possibilities of using waste materials.
Methods This study first looks at the changes in the concept of fiber art and the flow of material use since 1960. Second, it analyzes the characteristics of waste materials used in fiber artworks since the 2000s and classifies the intention of their use into three aspects. Third, it selects ten artists who use waste materials and uses a literature research to understand the intention of their works and the background of their choice of materials.
Result Starting with Claes Oldenburg in 1960, fiber artists began using various waste materials to expand their expressions and explore the properties of materials. Contemporary fiber artists use waste materials not as mere materials but as tools for conveying messages, and this can be classified into three categories: the environmental aspect, which reflects a critical view of environmental issues; the emotional aspect, which projects emotions and memories; and the material aspect, which emphasizes the physical properties of fibers.
Conclusion Artists, as producers of artworks, must consider and think about the environmental impact of their work processes and outputs. To promote the production of works using waste materials in Korea, it will be necessary for the government to establish a waste collection and management system, institutional support, and cooperation from companies. And it is expected that textiles, in particular, will be utilized as an art medium that can effectively convey environmental messages as a material closely related to everyday life. Continuous research will conduct quantitative studies to analyze the possibility of changing public perception through visitor responses and expert evaluations. |
