Library Journal Review

Digital Handmade refers to the spectacularly creative works that contemporary artists are crafting with state-of-the-art tools. While art methods evolve naturally with technology, many of us may feel intimidated by the new kinds of artistic expressions that are emerging. And, indeed, some of the modes include acronyms that most will need to look up. Each piece pictured includes the materials and techniques used-the wide range of objects employed and the way in which they are transformed is what readers will find most engaging. These artists combine traditional art forms with digitally influenced methods and explode our assumptions of what defines art. The range of pieces depicted shows exciting variations: wearable items (shoes, jewelry, clothing, eyeglasses, watches), sculptures, furniture, ceramics, silverware, flatware, and more. They run the gamut from functional to decorative and fill every niche in between those two ends of the spectrum; it is thrilling to see what artists create with these technologies. VERDICT An inspiring survey of modern art; recommended for readers who enjoy a glimpse of the future, who will be excited by the implications that these artistic innovations have for everyday living.--Rachael Dreyer, American Heritage Ctr., Laramie, WY © Copyright 2015.
