“Ed Moses”

The Exploration and Development

This artwork caught my eyes, which made me want to develop further.

While exploring Pinterest, I came across this technique called the Shibori Technique. It reminds me of Ed Moses art work.

Shibori Technique is a Japanese tie-dyeing technique where there are an infinite number of ways one can bind, stitch, fold, twist, or compress cloth for shibori, and each way results in very different patterns. Each method is used to achieve a certain result, but each method is also used to work in harmony with the type of cloth used.

Therefore, the technique used in shibori depends not only on the desired pattern, but the characteristics of the cloth being dyed. Also, different techniques can be used in conjunction with one another to achieve even more elaborate results.

Below are the process of my Shibori Technique

Part 1

Part 2 (Tying and soaking)

(Shibori methods comes in various methods. The other methods will be playing with the direction and also the way the fabric and rubber bands interact)
