Wearable Art
“One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.” Oscar Wilde
Printing my work directly onto fabric offers great creative possibilities. For the last ten years I have been experimenting with printing on a number of different fabrics to create wearable objects, using designs derived from my original compositions. Though I continue to experiment, my favorite product to date is the silk scarf: a wrap-around composition printed directly on silk crêpe (crêpe de soie). The inks penetrate this highly resistant, easily washable silk permanently, making the scarf durable in time. The printed silk softens with wear. The scarves are signed and dated, and are printed in limited editions of 150 for each design.
