I’m thrilled to be invited to show in a special exhibition at the Greater Chicago Quilt Exhibition! From the Mancuso announcement:
Digital Shibori: Pattern & Stitch
Fiber Works by Tricia McKellar
Tricia McKellar presents a series of fiber works that explore pattern and stitch. McKellar hand-dyes shibori fabric. Her shibori is a modern adaptation of traditional Japanese hand-dye methods. Shibori techniques produce patterned fabric with subtle variations; the patterns are natural, organic, complex, and, somehow, simple. McKellar photographs her shibori, digitally alters the image and prints the digital collage to silk. The works wrestle with the theme: How do the natural and the man-made, the organic and the digital feed each other? Each work is an exploration of another permutation.
