By Los angeles-based studio sports this installation consists of a series of terracotta tiles, the floor of the gallery breaks away from its traditional flat plane to create a colorful and undulating landscape that guests can maneuver through on foot. the protruding areas of this landscape are composed of a series of handmade tiles that sit atop a grid of gradually elevating transparent acrylic supports. vibrant and colorful lighting contrasts the digital-like surface, creating a compelling visual and spatial experience that rivals the lure of the infamous sidewalk beyond the gallery.

To Dye For: A World Saturated in Color
Opens and the de Young July 31st! A must see.
Via. Legionofhonor
A truly cross-cultural presentation, this exhibition showcases objects from a variety of diverse cultures and historical periods, including a tie-dyed tunic from the Wari-Nasca culture of pre-Hispanic Peru (A.D. 500–900), a paste-resist Mongolian felt rug from the 15th–17th century, and a group of stitch-resist dyed 20th-century kerchiefs from the Dida people of the Ivory Coast. These historical pieces are contrasted with artworks from contemporary Bay Area artists like Judith Content, Ana Lisa Hedstrom, Angelina DeAntonis and Yoshiko Wada.
Also included in the exhibition is an elegant tie-dye evening gown from Rodarte’s 2009 collection and an ikat trench coat from Oscar de La Renta’s 2005 collection. Both looks foreshadowed the current spring/summer trend of tribal-infused fashions such as Dries Van Noten’s and Gucci’s ikats and Proenza Schouler’s and Calvin Klein’s tie-dyes.
The exhibition highlights several important gifts to the museum including an early-20th-century ikat woven skirt from Iban people of Sarawak, Malaysia and two exquisite hand-painted and mordant-dyed Indian trade cloths used as heirloom textiles by the Toraja peoples of Sulawesi, Indonesia. The Textile Arts Council Endowment Fund has recently made additional acquisitions possible, such as a beautiful tie-dyed coat (sul-ma) worn by high-ranking woman of the Ladakh region of Western Himalayas, India and a batik sarong from the Lasem region of Java. Both works were acquired for the collection in 2004.Over 50 percent of the FAMSF objects in the exhibition are on view for the first time, including a recently rediscovered ceremonial cloth (kumo) from the T’boli people of Mindanao, Philippines. Measuring 74 x 84 inches and woven in three panels sewn together, the cloth is made from abaca and dyed with a warp-resist (ikat). Characteristic of the T’boli ikat weaving, the cloth is dyed in a rich and sophisticated color scheme of black and red set off by intricate ikat patterns drawn in the natural abaca. This cloth is part of a larger collection of fine and rare textiles from the Philippines gifted to the museum in 1938 by Mrs. Gustave Brenner. Despite being in the collection for over 70 years, this will be the first time this exquisite cloth will be exhibited.

Roger Hiorns Seizure Installation
I found this online about a year ago and still think about it today. I don't know why it's still so intriguing, perhaps it's the color.
I GOT IN!
Life is unpredictable, scary, and extremely unfair, it can also be surprisingly generous. I've been through just about everything that I've described since last year, and am proud to say that I've been made an unconditional offer to Central Saint Martins Textile Future Masters Program in London and have accepted. I'm annoyed that I couldn't find a job, but could get into this prestigious program?! I've also always wanted to live and work in Europe, and I'll be able to explore an avenue in design that I've lusted after for years. I'm shocked and honored that I've been accepted and also a bit freaked out about the move. So come September I'll be posting from life and what I've learned from London and this amazing program. This is all a huge sigh of relief and also like screaming at the top of your lungs on a mountain top. WHOOHOO!

In partnership with Daredevil Tattoo Amanda Does some amazing work. I'm a fan of the abstract watercolor work, and would love to have one of her pieces ;)
