A textile art installation from the collaboration between multi disciplinary artist Kate Banazi and artist and textile researcher, Joanna Fowles.
Utilising Kates linear graphics drawn artwork elements with Joannas extensive research and knowledge into locally sourced extracted botanical colourants, they have created a series of art textiles with non polluting and non toxic dyes.
The organic cotton from India, a country where both Kate and Joanna both have familial roots, is hand scoured and pressed, then hand silkscreen printed with extracted plant tannins from barks, fruit skins, naturally derived metal salts and fruit acids.
The process is done intuitively as the mordant which the dye adheres to is colourless.
The lengths are then dyed, dunged and finally washed to reveal their colours - an unexpected reveal.
The colour is alive - it evolves through time, light affectation and washing. It can be replenished, reinvigorated and recoloured.
Joanna’s research questions the contemporary applications of naturally dyed material and pushes to the return of sourced material and plants foraged from the local area. She utilises materials from plant and food matter to create colour into a print medium.
Kate’s artwork is a randomly repeated graphic element extracted from female form life drawing, which has gone through a transformation to a graphic lyrical and rhythmic line.
Elements overlap and fade; an interaction of bodies, relationships and nature.

Gargalesis (The Heavy Tickle).
An ongoing series of hand-pulled silkscreen prints disassembled and reassembled into three dimensional forms evoking the spontaneity and joy of the hard tickle.
After the sudden death of one of my oldest friends, a while later I wanted to acknowledge my grief and remember the joy of having him as part of my life for so long. The music, the dancing, the laughter and the little ball of furious love I hold tight.
The chaos and playfulness of friendship is underpinned by shadows cast that change, grow and retreat through day to the night. Artificial light can enhance them, fix them at a certain point or bleach them out entirely but they will always remain, potentially let loose by a shaft of sunlight, never wholly controllable.

These pieces reference my exploration and research into the engagement and overlap of colour. Reflections of thrown colour move with light throughout the day and adjust the perceived shapes of the pieces.
Opacity and translucency, rhythm and movement coexist with our interlocking and repeating relationships, joined, fragile, sometimes jarring often complimentary.

Playing with depth, shadow and colour these pieces are hand silkscreen printed embracing the process as a painterly one. Every flaw is celebrated against the synthetic substrate, a grounding human touch.
