Ikat Plaid Series
This collection is a celebration of the 'check'.
Checks are almost as old as weaving itself and each check type has its own fascinating history and cultural significance.
Typically used in shirting, home furnishings, beachwear - always functional products - here they are presented as artworks, with no function attached.
All the warp and weft yarns are individually painted prior to weaving, to achieve the ikat placement and colours.
Woven using industry waste yarn.
