I NEED TO MAKE GARMENTS

[chimerical-creations]

Spent a few days hanging out with @peacekeeperangel back in September of 2022, and one of the things we did was go wild with a tie-dye kit.

My mother had many of these cotton napkins in storage and let me take as many as I wanted for tie-dyeing purposes, since they may as well be used for something. These are the results. The bullseye-looking one is my favourite.

For the months of November and December, Brenda McMahon Gallery is focusing on Fiber Arts, and Marlene Glickman is one of the artists included. Her fabric collages are made with hand dyed and found fabrics that she then embellishes with thread drawings.

Another one of her projects is using instant setting dyes to create silk scarves. She teaches workshops on the process and also sells kits to do it on your own. She recently gave demonstrations at the Dunedin Fine Art Center (as part of their Open House) and at Art in the Park! in Clearwater, where the scarves pictured are from.

Glickman’s artist statement from her website–

Art, for me, is the act of expressing ideas regardless of the medium and sharing them with others. I see things and am compelled to create with them. I also love to encourage viewers to interact with my art and put their imprint on the work. Creating 3D sculptural forms and textile “paintings” using new and found materials is a passion.
