1883 - Krakatua
The small volcanic island,
Krakatua, off the west coast of Java, erupted in 1883. One of the most deadly
in modern history, its effects were felt in Africa and Australasia. From a
beach house overlooking Krakatua, we enjoyed evening vistas of a mildly smoking
Krakatua against the setting sun. Amazing.
The hand dyed cloth
represents the sea, sand, volcanic ash and fires of Krakatua whilst the mark
making symbolises the turmoil on land and sea created by the event.
Own hand dyed fabrics,
mono-printed marks. Improvisational cutting and piecing. Simple machine stitch.
