It's scarf mania in my studio! I recently went on a dying spree and have scarves coming out my ears! Infinity scarves, head scarves, neck scarves, even hankies, oh my..... All of them are dyed using a Japanese dying technique called shibori, in which there are an infinite number of ways one can bind, stitch, fold, twist, or compress cloth in the process of dying. As each method results in very different patterns, I choose a specific method, whether it be using the Arashi (pole wrapping) techniqe versus using the Itajime (shape-resist) technique, in order to to achieve semi-specific results. As I use several different colors, and sometimes put my fabric through two or more dye processes, I tend to have more unpredictable outcomes which I love. Currently, I am taking individual pictures of these beauties and when I am done, you will find them available for purchase here in my shop. In the meantime, check out this blog post: Hello Glow: 13 Super Stylish Ways to Tie a Scarf  Now you can find my Shibori dyed cotton handkerchiefs at the Kemper Museum Shop for only $5 each!  The Silent Type
Rochelle Brickner | Thesis Exhibition Opening Reception: Friday, December 4th 2015, 6-9pm Exhibition Runs December 4-26 (closed from December 24-26) Gallery Hours: 11am-5pm, Thursday-Sunday Leedy-Voulkos Art Center, Lower Level Gallery 2012 Baltimore Ave. Kansas City, MO 64108 For the past two years I’ve been creating abstract biomorphic forms that are inspired by the textures, colors, and life cycles characteristic of various species of fungi. Reinterpreting the environments they inhabit in natural and controlled compositions references their various stages in life. The choice of materials I use and the processes of construction and transformation are intimately connected to the visual, conceptual and narrative aspects of the work. My preferred materials are wool and paper; shapeless, fibrous materials that can be endlessly manipulated through the process of felting. A transformation of color, shape, and form relative to the systematic cycles of growth, rebirth, decomposition, and symbiosis in nature. I refer to these fungi species as the silent type. Too often, fungi go unnoticed as they quietly exist. Through my work I want to inspire people to notice and perhaps look at nature in a different way. |
