Yet it is also possible to conceive of the surface in more positive terms: as a site where complex forces meet. Surfaces can be theorized as membranes, protective shells, sensitive skins, even thicknesses in their own right. The surface is not so much a barrier to content as an opportunity for encounter: in new objects, the surface is the site of qualities of finish, texture, the site of tactile interaction, the last point of contact between object and maker, and the first point of contact between object and user. This book includes sixteen essays that explore this theoretically uncharted terrain. The subjects range widely: domestic maintenance; avant-garde fashion; the faking of antiques; postmodern architecture and design; contemporary film costume. Of particular emphasis within the volume are textiles, which are among the most complex and culturally rich materialisations of surface. 650 0 $a Textile fabrics $x History. 650 0 $a Textile fabrics $x Texture. 700 1 $a Adamson, Glenn. 700 1 $a Kelley, Victoria. 830 0 $a Studies in design. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211032832.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6A1F4EAABEE311E3B118CA8BDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
