Issue #69 is loosely curated through works in relation to texture and textile, while exploring how to compassionately nourish one’s creativity. Whitney Crispell turned to self-imposed parameters, where she embarked on a generative challenge of making a mini quilt every week for a year. Elsewhere readers share their textural creative projects, Haida weaver, Marlene Liddle speaks to material healing, and Uppercase visits the Moulin De Larroque, a 13th century paper mill.
