60/40 Cotton Silk

Collar Shirt | Button sleeve Closure | Breast Pocket

THE PROCESS

Elements shirt is cut from a luxurious medium weight matte cotton silk, dyed with Indigo & Sappanwood to create our Lilac base. The pieces are then hand-painted with a bentonite clay resist paste before dipping in an fructose indigo vat by Isa Rodrigues. The design is inspired by the patterns created when sunlight and wind interact with the oceans surface.

Isa Rodrigues is an artist and educator currently based in Brooklyn, New York and Lagos, Portugal. Through research and practice, she explores how textiles are intimately connected to the body, the land, and memory; and how this information is archived in the materials, structures and processes, like a code, a language.  She is also interested in exploring art education as a means to create community and preserve material culture. Isa is a founding team of the Textile Arts Center (TAC), where she has worked as Co-Executive Director, and founded the project Sewing Seeds, activating natural dye gardens in empty lots and community gardens in Brooklyn.
