Introduction
Here are the weekly contributions by the Europeans to ArtCloth: Engaging New Visions.
The catalog of the exhibition is far more detailed in terms of opening addresses and artist’s biographies, curriculum vitae and statements etc. and moreover, is a holistic record of the exhibition itself.
Synopsis of Artwork: Autumn Visions I & II
Among all techniques I prefer natural dyeing on silk to chemical ones. There are about 80 dyeing plants in Lithuania and I have been using exceptionally these dyes for several years now. Dominating gamut consists of yellow ranging to brown, sometimes greenish brown mixed with gray. Various reagents allow to obtain different hues. I am excited working with iron rust, which provides unexpected results when combined with natural dyes.
In my work - Autumn Visions I & II - black currants were used in order to obtain grey color. For yellow I use Yellow Chamomile. For dark violet I introduced brasil wood dyes (imported ones) this time as well. For background I used Mokume Shibori (Japanese resist dyeing) to create an impression of vibrancy, something similar to wood crust or grass. Autumn colors range from yellow to dark violet and symbolizes changes in nature in this time of year. A lot of sun, yellow color of late autumn flowers during the time of Indian summer and later on plenty of darkness and preparedness for sleep.
Techniques
