Continuing the exploration of the relationship between inorganic and organic material through the natural indigo dye process. Deep contrast technique developed to create more depth in the garments that will age intermittently over time due to the nature of their compositions.

Exploring reliefs and memory using natural indigo and vintage patches. Patches were backed with a “shadow”, a meticulously cut out denim fabric to mirror the original patch to create a stronger resist.

Indigo ‘75 series
Exploring reliefs and memory using natural indigo and vintage patches. Patches were backed with a “shadow”, a meticulously cut out denim fabric to mirror the original patch to create a stronger resist. Multiple indigo dips to create a deeper blue that will fade intermittently because of the poly blend. Vintage Mickey Mouse and other patches resist dyed on 70/80s Roebuck 50/50 blend V neck.

Natural Indigo - Dip 2
Studying how deep I can get animal and synthetic materials. Enjoying letting the shoe rest a few days between dips. The color resonates differently and last longer in my experience.
Stay tuned.

further experimenting with natural indigo doing resist dyes using lighter cotton. Each patch is backed and meticulously cut out to create a “shadow” to enhance resistance. This is tee is from @b.eautiful i bought from dover street in London. On another trip it got covered in oil so I haven’t worn it much. Perfect palette to play with the LOVE PEACE AND SOUL series. The vintage chenille sometimes have a discharge of color which complicates the indigo color even more.
