Viewing single post of blog Fragile journey

Turning attention to materials which carry a message, I recently visited Jessica Ogden “Still” exhibition in Marylebone and learnt how certain patterned fabrics , Madras check, Gingham, Paisley , have strong cultural associations . A well known fashion designer, Jessica Ogden deconstructs old quilts before  beautifully working on the revealed history they contain in a long pursued drive to up-cycle and honour the marks, uniqueness and value of each textile. Each worked piece in the exhibition had a function and could also be  viewed as an abstract composition.

It has emphasised textile patterns cross boundaries with travelling people  and are adopted by host cultures.
