22 k gold mono print on shaped resist dyed ground,
BigTown Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of Joan Morris's most recent exploration in shaped resist dyeing* on textiles and precious metal mono-printing. Morris's two-year study combining museum textiles with found and natural objects has formed a new vocabulary for visual expression in the realm of dyeing and printing. In her new work, the shadow translation of an opaque gold imprint on the wall uses light to elaborate the description of image, surface, and structure simultaneously. This work opens a fresh perspective on the distinct cultural and natural iconographies that inform the evolution of textile.
