Tapestry - Textile - Batik On Silk Fabric
Description
This piece is inspired by the old farms in the prairies and fields of the Northwest.
The untold stories of lives lived within these walls.
This piece is sold unframed for easy and less costly shipping.
It will need to be framed under UV protective glass. I recommend a 3" mat.
Batik is the process of using wax and dyes to create designs on fabric. Wax is heated in a tool called a tjanting and then passes thru a copper or metal tube on to the fabric. Where the wax is placed, the dye cannot penetrate. I work in layers to create a design. Wax some, Dye some. When the dye touches the fabric, it spreads like water. So the wax creates a border that controls where the dye can go. Silk is such an ethereal medium to work on.
The way the dyes move around and blend in the boundaries created by the wax. Salt creates a unique effect as well.
When the piece is finished, the wax is removed.
I then stretch the silk on foamcore using linen tape.
I use only high quality silk fabric, silk dyes and pure beeswax in my work.
