this is called "siren song" by suchitra mattai. it's kind of hard to tell the scale but it's probably 10-12 feet tall? it's made of vintage saris and other fabric and when you stand inside the ceiling is projected with video of the atlantic ocean. it was very cozy and calming to stand inside

Suchitra Mattai
I found Suchitra Mattai extremely interesting because of how many techniques and influences she includes in her artwork. Suchitra uses all kinds of crafts to create her artworks but her main influences are Indian miniature painting and European tapestry tradition. She has lived and traveled so many places and that plays into her works. many explore the themes of myth and memory while also making a statement about the detriment of our human history. I would love to learn more about her process of exploring these myths and how that manifests itself in her pieces.

Claes Oldenburg
I am interested in Claes Oldenburg because I remember speaking about him in my modern art history class and finding him fascinating! he is the king of pop art! I found so many of his larger-than-life everyday objects to be humorous and extremely intriguing. i would love to further investigate his motives and ideas behind these pieces and i would absolutely love to make a lifestyle piece myself!

Orly Genger
Orly is solely based on non-woven-based mediums, unlike my other two artists. I have never done any sort of installation but. I would love to see what draws her into such large and captivating interactive pieces. she makes all her work to be outdoors which I find so interesting and most of her artwork is based on the process. I would love to continue researching her process and gain more of an understanding.

Welcome to Advanced Fabric Surface Design!
This website is devoted to the exploration the world of advanced fabric surface design alongside our in class time together this Fall. You will be introduced to even more processes from the material world of fibers that we didn't cover in our intro fabric surface design course, to continue our exploration on how to create patterns and surface designs on fabric. The techniques we plan to cover this semester include screen printing, batik, marbling, and tufting.
This website will serve as the homebase for this class. Check here regularly for important course information on advanced fabric surface design techniques, processes, and concepts as well as information for all assignments, class announcements, and detailed linkable fiber art resources.
We will examine advanced fabric surface design techniques together in hopes of finding ways that the concepts, materials, and processes of fiber might serve to enhance your own art practice and artistic point of view, wherever you go after this class.
I’m glad you are here!
Images above, from top:
I wish I was in LA to see this new work by artist Suchitra Mattai, a contemporary artist using fiber in her work. She is currently showing a body of work at Roberts Projects in her solo exhibition called “In the Absence of Power, In the Presence of Love”. The top 2 images above are works from the show.
From the exhibition press release:
“The show presents new mixed-media paintings, tapestries, and a soft-sculpture installation that evoke the artist’s Indo-Caribbean heritage. Mattai’s work engages with the subject and form of European pastoral landscapes and figuration as well as Indian miniature paintings. Linking craft-based processes, sumptuous weavings and traditional techniques, the artist portrays resolute brown heroines, replacing heroes and colonizers and reclaiming a patriarchal past.”

This is an example of tufting process I've borrowed from this recent article about the process in Architectural Digest...It's so fun! I know you will love trying it out!
