Bird in Digital Shibori Landscape
fiber, 18"h x 36"w
2006
digital prints of altered shibori imagery on silk, hand & machine quilted
This work will be included in the book Innovative Fabric Imagery, C & T Publishing, 2007.
The image on the face of this piece started with a photograph of hand-dyed shibori cotton. The digital photo was altered and embellished with 1's and 0's and circles. The photo of the cardinal was taken at a local science museum (the bird is stuffed). Then the digital collage (of shibori, bird, 1's, circles,...) was printed onto silk (with my Epson 2200 and Lyson Cave Paint inks), fused to cotton (to stabilize the silk), backed with batting and back layer, and stitched by machine.
