NEW EXPERIMENTS IN THE STUDIO

I am more and more captivated by the art of resist techniques on fabrics. These last days in the studio, apart of the tights and socks that seem to have become a permanent production, I have been experimenting with clamps more than ever before.

I am freely taking the risks to see how the fabric and the liquid media (dye or discharge agent) respond to my acts.

It can be liberating to loose control! I can now let go some of  my "old habits" and enjoy the construction of a pattern layer by layer, choosing the next step always based on the prior outcome.

I have generally been happy with the results!

I LOVE LAYERS!

I am interested in generating a sensation of depth on two-dimensional surfaces through the exploration of layers of rich colours, prevented areas on each layer, and geometrical and organic forms. I work in partnership with the materials, allowing fibre and liquid media to respond according to their own qualities. I combine my initial plans with elements of chance and enjoyment of the unpredictable responses.
