NEW SUMMER SHIRTS

engineered pattern on the body

Below are patterns I developed in cad , I experimented with how the patterns could be used in different garments to create a range of effects on the figure.

these patterns are what came out of the "motifs for print" that I posted a month ago

I created them in Nedgraphics, a CAD program.

my latest Tshirt designs

 My new shirt designs which I  am developing for risd spring art sale on April 25th, combine clamp-dying, screen printing embroidery, applique and beading to create a mysterious, organic surface.

motifs for prints

These are some of the motifs I developed

for the computer aided design (cad) class I am taking this semester.

Hopefully they will combine into a collection of prints.

hand manipulated fabrics

Montana

Joel and I hiked to a lake in

the Sapphire Mountains in Montana

two summer ago. We took some great pictures with our

polaroid camara

here is a drawing from one.

dress form tests

These are some tests

I did on the dress form with fabric I had dyed and printed ,

inspired by abstraction I did in paint.

Groundwater Shirts is a project that I started a little more than a year ago. This project focuses on giving new life to old garments.

I collected second hand T-shirts and through

embroidery, silk screening and applique gave them new life. More images of my up-cycled, organic, and bamboo clothing are on line at my websight:

collage experiments using
some of my dyed fabrics.

>I LIKE<

Just some different garments that I am a fan of

in most cases because of the textural

surfaces.

The sheer print is so simple

but on that fabric

it seems

quite mysterious.

I also love how chunky knitting is used in this piece.

My studio -

the head space and net for gathering my thoughts.

Most of the time it is

cold here.
