Shibori

Carter Smith is a Shibori artist from the Americas who has been working with Shibori for over 49 years. He hand dyes each peice of fabric used to create luxurious garments out of beautifuly dyed silks and fabrics. He works in various styles, though most of the final garments are free flowing and drape gracefully. I was attracted to the work by its way of making Tie Dye, not look like Tie Dye, but something almost natural, as if the fabric grew like that.
