Week 10: Folds and Folds. This art was lovingly created using: Fabric / fashion (upcycled fabric, screenprinting, and sewing).

Artist’s Notes

ボロボロ (“boroboro”) often refers to an item that is worn out to the point where it is in tatters. Rather than throw it out, I find it can be a very personal and relaxing process to repair it, following similar Japanese repairing idealogy where the fix / mend also becomes a point of beauty. The pattern is based on other traditional Japanese patterns - this is one focuses on the imagery of a bobbin and thread to create an almost water-like pattern, which was screenprinted with gold ink, a reference back to Kintsugi which is a pottery repair technique using gold lacquer.

I also included a comparison image for fun and how you can use non-functionality in fast fashion to your advantage.
