inspired by fabrics..
The six little patchworks above from Jamaican-born designer Jessica Odgen & Tunisian-born Jean Touitou and their A.P.C. Quilt Project , launched by the common interest for traditional craft and inspired by the for years archived fabrics from the french brand A.P.C., which could be recycled that way. Below some antique turkish and moroccan kilims.
hiking
lovely weekend-hike with my family in the Austrian mountains. Maybe the last warm weekend, before the big snow?
printing and fabrics
I just discovered the lovely blog from Lena Corwin and am pretty much excited about her book i just ordered. I found the beautiful fabric works from Fabrics Interseason there too.
“the coordinates of fashion and design in general, contemporary fine arts, cultural history, performance and (electronic) music describe the areas and interfaces, within which fabrics interseason locate and position their works and projects. in accordance with their artistic method, the projects, performances and the collections and presentation are based upon concepts which are developed from an intensive research of socio-political discourses and phenomena.”
Kinderzeichnungen
Nachgezeichnet aus dem Bilderband “Kinder Porträts” von dem französischen Fotografen Olivier Föllmi, der auf seinen zahlreichen Reisen hunderte von Kinderporträts aufgenommen hat – mal lachend, mal schmollend, mal sanft, mal anmutig, – “Kinder sind Zeugen einer Welt, die durch ihre Gegenwart heller wird.”
