dc.description.abstract |
Ebony Lace aims to push traditional boundaries in lace-making using unique construction and natural eucalyptus dye processes. Through a unique exploration of black dye, silk and thread the lace pays homage to traditional black laces commonly known as Chantilly Lace. It contributes to approaches in the Slow Design movement and has implications for sustainable design, reuse and upcycling. The work demonstrates potential solutions to fabric waste as future lace can be created using discarded textile off cuts for bespoke Interior and Fashion. |

This work is located in the field of textile design and the slow design movement. The work experiments with aspects of Australian design and art history through its use of imagery and materials. The work demonstrates potential solutions to fabric waste as future lace can be created using discarded textile off-cuts. It therefore has implications for sustainability. Ebony Lace consists of two large scale lace works. Through their combinations of black dye, silk and thread, homage is paid to traditional ‘black laces’ commonly known as Chantilly lace. Traditional boundaries in lace-making are challenged through unique construction methods and natural dyeing processes. The approach incorporates elements of the Japanese philosophy Wabi Sabi. Embedded in each lace panel is a deliberate ‘mistake’ that emphasizes its unique qualities as handmade crafted design. Ebony Lace was selected by the Design Institute of Australia for Interwoven, a curated textile and fashion exhibition in Sydney and Melbourne (2012). Interwoven was also exhibited at the Damien Minton Gallery, Sydney (2012). Ebony Lace gained international recognition for its contribution to design through selection in the 7th International Fiber Art Biennale Exhibition, From Lausanne to Beijing, Nantong, China, 8 November 2012 – 12th January 2013. The Biennale is one of the largest events of its kind, drawing work from over three hundred artists from thirty-seven countries. Ebony Lace was awarded an Excellent Honorable Mention (highly commended) by a panel of esteemed International Judges for the quality of its unique approach to lace making and design philosophy. |
