#707 On the Edge: Geomorphic Form | Susan Fell
Arashi shibori, silk organza, dyed with Eucalyptus, redgum timber
Height: 50cm. Width: 50cm. Depth: 50cm.
Silk organza develops and retains memory. New forms emerge, fluid, ambiguous, natural features upon the earth's surface, moved and shaped over time by forces of wind, waves, tides and climatic variables. From the earth, rich dye colours of Eucalyptus leaves accentuate folds and edges of geomorphology.
Our planet is suffering a disastrous environmental assault from pollution, runoff from synthetic dyes, used in textile industries flow, freely, into rivers throughout the world. Susan is regularly invited to present and exhibit her naturally dyed textiles in prestigious international forums - most recently a UNESCO endorsed conference in Madagascar.
