Shibori refers to Japanese methods of preparing fabric that create certain designs on cloth after dyeing. In the contemporary textile art I experiences while traveling in Japan, many examples of shibori left the three-dimensional shapes that aided the traditional surface design in the cloth even after the dyeing process was complete. amtextiles responds to this thrilling creative process and combines it with the the belief that the human body is the ultimate exhibition space. amtextiles uses Jacquard Acid Dyes, Procion Mx fiber reactive dyes, and various silk and cotton fabrics from Dharma Trading to make interesting, thought-provoking and textural "Bubble Wraps", shawls, scarves and more.
