Practice based research project “Crochet Chronicles” was presented in November at International Textiles and Apparel Association design exhibit. The dress featured a screen print of my grandmother’s crochet on emergency blanket and embroidered Byzantine mosaic inspired hand-sculpted clay reliefs. The piece is about diaspora and refugee experience and family heirlooms. Thew other pieces in the collection feature a digital print of the crochet digitally manipulated and printed on cotton. The collection also features crescent like clay elements inspired by the Slavic goddess Mara.
