Our relationship between the past and the present is complex.  Some artists choose to tear down the edifice of permanence and reject the burden of history in order to create a new point of reference.  With Sue Lawty, however, a respect for historic and ethnographic material enables her to both assimilate and change the past.  Her work provides a critical link in the chain that connects the historic with the contemporary, the traditional with the innovative.
Lawty has been collaborating on a significant new body of work with the V&A Textile Collection and in addition, she will be working directly with the historic collection, discovering and uncovering objects which will inspire a new acquisition for the contemporary textile collection.
For Lawty, the journey of discovery is crucial, she will share her experience and the creative process through her  blog (on-line diary) click here to read it now .

Facebook, Friends, Family, Business Pages, Groups

Lots of blah, blah, wee going on about FaceBook and 25 friends, business pages no longer the be all end all, and having more meaningful interactions with family, friends and in groups. Some folks are in an uproar (some folks are always in an uproar, or so it seems). "Our relationship is in trouble." Here it comes. If you are family or a close friend and the only way you maintain contact with me is through FB, our relationship is in trouble. We are both aware of this. "My feed algorithm feels like FB tracks the posts I respond to" I’ve never counted the number of people I see posts from. My feed algorithm feels like FB tracks the posts I respond to and shows me posts with similar subject matter from a number of different folks. Some whose posts I comment on, on a regular basis, others I don’t have any idea who they are, but I usually find their posts interesting and I’m glad to read them. "FB is a public platform" I have always sel...

The Dye Garden

Image
The idea of the dye garden is very simple. Request dye plant seeds from me, or buy your own and begin your garden. Doesn't matter whether you have an acre, a small backyard, a window sill or a balcony. See below for links on how to get your seeds started. I've ordered indigo seeds from Botanical Colors (Madam Magyar), Blue Light Junction (grown in Baltimore, MD) and Ossabaw Island, GA (Mayan Blue). Soon indigo seeds should be arriving from my friend Kiri in Brazil.   In addition to the indigo seeds, I also have weld, woad, coreopsis, black hopi sunflower and madder seeds.  This seed variety will produce a full spectrum of colors. Primary colors when used individually in a dyebath, and a host of secondary and tertiary colors when combined. If you live in the Stockton area, email me (y.sabur@gmail.com)  and we can arrange a time and place for a safe pickup.
