When Eucalyptus leaves are immersed into boiling water they smell great. When wool is added to the simmering pot, the colour is amazing, and when Itajime Shibori is used, folding and clamping to create patterns, the result is magic. Combine this with sculptural shapes and memorable words, and you have an exhibition that will fascinate and delight.
Improvised processes carry the rhythms and repetitions intrinsic to Itajime Shibori, while the resultant layered and textural artworks transgress the boundaries of textile art, combining very traditional dying and shaping methods with contemporary sculptural concerns and notions of sustainability. |
