Introduction
There are three basic ingredients (as opposed to definitions) that all artworks possess; (i) they need to be “engaged”; (ii) they are non-functional, and (iii) they are aesthetic. Wearable Art is “Art” when placed in an art context but when it is not placed in an art context, its functionality obscures the act of engagement. My pashmina wraps and scarves are wearable art.
'Rainforest Beauty' Collection: Concept and Processes
My new, contemporary pashmina wraps collection, “Rainforest Beauty” is based on one of Australia’s truly unique Tasmanian rainforest native plant species, the pomaderris apetala better known as the common dogwood. Inspired by my visits to the Tasmanian wet forest areas I have created this collection to showcase the beauty of this plant species in a modern, timeless and unique design aesthetic. Each pashmina wrap is a one-off creation, never to be repeated in color, tone or overall design. However, some of the design elements may re-appear in other pashminas, but the overall colors and design is what ensures their uniqueness as a one-off specialty wearable art item to covet. The 'Rainforest Beauty’ Pashmina Wraps Collection is a limited edition series which will not be repeated.
As with all of my textile art and designs, plain white pashminas, in this case viscose, were individually dyed and/or over dyed using time-honored hand dyeing techniques to add visual depth, pattern and contrast to the scarf background/s. Using time-honored hand printing processes each pashmina was then screen-printed with images of common dogwood over the entire scarf length in multiple layers. Pigment paints were carefully mixed to ensure that the screen printed images imparted rich, luscious, intense colors to the multi dyed base colors. Layers of complex images were overprinted using glazes, transparent, opaque and metallic pigments until a richly hued and multi layered surface was created. Each pashmina scarf measures 74 (width) x 195 (height) cm. Special care instructions are included with each scarf.
