If you take away print and embroidery, you have to challenge yourself a bit more on the cut.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
So, I was always frustrated having to write and having to cut things. Why should you have to cut anything?
The biggest challenge for any craft person or artist is to accept the constraints of their medium and make something beautiful despite them. That's kind of fun, actually.
The ideas keep going, you have the material, you cut because there's a limit to the space allowed to you. And the space is limited because of some other constraints that have to do with money or printing or whatever.
All the embroidery is made in my father's workshop in India... and all the cutting and sewing is done in my studio.
I can't cut out a piece of cloth and make a lovely dress, but I can mend tears in shirts and sew on buttons.
I love the journeys of research and discovery their development takes me on. I see prints as less 'decorative' than many might, and more fundamental to a garment's core.
It looks like you can write a minimalist piece without much bleeding. And you can. But not a good one.
When I'm not writing or tweaking my computer, I do embroidery. When I'm not plunging into the past, tweaking, or embroidering, I'm reading books about history, computers, or embroidery.
It's the ultimate task to do something stripped back, so you're not hiding behind anything.
Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection.
