There is a direct relationship between the artist and the person who wears the work. The artwork lends dramatic stature to the person inside, while the wearer lends additional life and vitality to the art work. The person wearing the garment redefines it and thus continues the creative process. So, for those who envelop themselves in the expression of another individual's hands and heart, it is certainly the sharing of a noble and privileged creation. Above all, it is about the intimacy of sharing a rare artistic experience.
Fashion is towards simpler, unadorned clothing.
By combining technical mastery of the fiber media with an increasingly refined sense of garment construction, these artists provide a new context for the simple, traditional forms upon which many of their works are based. Many wearable garments are based on folkloric or peasant clothing shapes. Since the shapes are already functional, the attention is focused on the surface, color, pattern and texture. They are people in touch with their individuality celebrating the body and adorning it with richly embellished expressions of personal identity. Tee shirts to evening wear, conservative to far-out, literally something for everyone.
