《还原》之三
作者：谭海平（中国）
尺寸：82cmx130cm
材质：麻、棉、靛蓝染料、直接染料
工艺：叠布
青出于蓝而胜于蓝，靛蓝染色过程中，从布料浸入染液到提出染液的那一刻，布料表面经过空气的氧化，慢慢由黄绿色逐渐变为翠绿——深绿——蓝绿——蓝——深蓝，一块纯净的蓝色就染成了，而这微妙而又短暂的变化转瞬即逝，为了留住这美好的变化，此作品通过手工蓝染及绿色系手染面料进行创作，采用传统叠布工艺拼接，在秩序中寻求和谐统一以及还原反应的微妙变化，展现蓝染过程中这瞬间的美好变化，将还原的整个过程静态化并保留在画面上。
Blue is better than blue. In the process of indigo dyeing, from the moment the cloth is immersed in dye solution to the moment when the dye solution is proposed, the surface of the cloth is oxidized by air, gradually changing from yellow-green to turquoisedark green-blue-blue, a pure blue is dyed, and this subtle and transient change is fleeting. In order to retain this beautiful change, this work Through the creation of hand-dyed blue and green hand-dyed fabrics, the traditional overlapping process is used to stitch together, seeking harmony and unity in order and subtle changes in the reduction reaction, showing the beautiful changes in the blue dyeing process at this moment, and statically restoring the whole process and retaining it on the screen.

涡
作者：傅心怡（中国）
尺寸：75cmx155cm
材质：苎麻、蚕丝
工艺：沤渍、浸染
固执的尝试着材料与染液间的关系，在普遍而寻常的材质中找到新的空间。采用软材料进行创作，放弃材料堆叠时的控制，将一切交给不确定的应力与纤维弹性，染料与纤维他们自己决定自己之间的关系，拒绝一层不变的样式。利用柿漆在纤维上成膜的瞬间，找到柿漆在纤维材料以外的空间质感。不利用任何黏胶，只是利用柿漆能力将纤维们聚合在一起。
Persistently trying to test the relationship between materials and dyes, looking for new spaces in ordinary materials. Create by soft materials, abandon the control of material stacking. With the uncertain stress and elastic fiber, dyestuff and fiber determine their relationship by themselves, rejecting a constant pattern. At the moment when the persimmon paint form the film on the fiber, the texture of the persimmon paint outside the fiber material could be found. Without any glue, just using the persimmon paint to polymerize the fibers together.

奇幻异想
作者：陈怡仁（中国台湾）
在你心中是否有一片值得寻觅的美丽景致？曾做过许多梦？无垠的天空藏着甚么奥妙，毛毛虫羽化成了苍穹中的蝴蝶，在指尖中流窜生命。本作品采用基本缝扎技法，经过无数次的缝、拆、染，在深深浅浅的蓝色中，展开奇幻异想世界。
Have you ever dreamed of exploring the nevernever-land? Wondering what kind of delights you may find in the Eden of your fantasy? There are countless marvels to be discovered in the infinite world of imaginations. The poetic metamorphosis of caterpillars to butterflies offers the glimpse of time passing through our fingertips.
Come and let us transform your world into a fantasy land of indigo textile arts. Through the lens of multitudes of savvy braiding, sewing and dyeing techniques, these aweinspiring indigo art pieces represent the artisan's interpretations of indigo fantasy land.

透叠·Transparent
作者：刘亚（中国）
尺寸：120cmx70cm
材质：真丝
工艺：植物染、丝网印
透叠构成是构成主义概念中形与形构成的一中关系属性，包括三个部分：即透明、叠加、透叠。在这件作品中我将中国传统植物染色与现代丝网印工艺相结合，探讨了面料与光、色彩、图案的关系与可能性。设计灵感来自于中国古典小说《红楼梦》对于大观园四季景色的描写。
Overlapping-Transparent form is one composition of Constructivism, includes three parts: Overlapping, Transparent, Overlapping-Transparent. I integrate the Chinese traditional natural dyeing and the screen printing technology, to explore the possibility of the light, color and pattern on the silk fabric. The inspiration comes from the Chinese classical novel named “A Dream of Red Mansions” by Cao Xueqin, in which represents the beautiful scenery of four seasons in Daguan Garden.

The series of plant dyeing clothing "Landscape Indigo” express the feelings of literati with the smooth lines, modest but powerful colors. Also, we wanted to show our awareness and respects to the nature through plant dyeing.

踏浪
作者：秦瑞雪（中国）
尺寸：120cmx120cm
材质：布、铁丝
工艺：扎染
靛青为偏蓝的颜色，是一种来源于自然的颜色；海河也是自然的，用靛青色染出来的独特花纹比喻海河。通过面料再造制作各种卷曲的单元形进行组合，看起来仿佛是有人踏着浪归来的景象。
Indigo is a blue color, is a natural color; the sea is also natural, indigo dyed out of the unique pattern of the sea. Making all kinds of curly unit shapes through fabric reconstruction, it looks as if someone is walking home on the waves.

Radiance
author name: Sheri Levin McNerthney（U.S.A）
size: 56cm×140cm
material: Silk Mawata and Natural Dyes
“Radiance” is a study in optical color mixing with natural dyes. In this piece my goal is to translate into a fiber medium the practice of watercolor painting with a limited palette. With watercolors one can glaze three pigments - cyan, magenta, and yellow - to achieve a unified universe of color. Since with natural dyes we do not have pure pigments available, I selected a limited palette of a warm and a cool yellow (weld and pomegranate), and warm and a cool red (cochineal and madder), and indigo.
For my “glazing” medium I used silk mawata. I dyed silk mawata in each of my palette colors, then stretched and layered the silk fiber over a frame. I painted the entire surface with a dilute solution of agar to bind the layers. Then I layered the layers, suspending them slightly spaced so that light could radiate from within.

Prism
author name: Yasuko Ishizuka（Japan）
size: 205cm×159cm
material: silk
Natural dyes have beautiful monochrome colors, but when overlapping dyes they show deep colors that seem to spread limitlessly on the screen. I believe that natural dyes can express the beauty of colors in ways that chemical dyes cannot. In order to highlight this feature of natural dyes, I
made it by dyeing the work many times with Itajime's technique. This technique involves the process of folding cloth in two or more directions and clamping it between boards or sticks. The boards and sticks remain plain and the pattern that is created is caused by the penetration of dye into the exposed folds of cloth.
I dyed this work with miscanthus tinctorias, Uncaria gambir, cochineal (Dactylopius coccus), Japanese traditional indigo.

ADD1: Water reflex and ADD2:
Sunlight reflex
author name: Eva Lagnert, Sweden（Poland）
size: 56cm×64cm
material: fabrics of silk, rami, cotton

WHEREVER in the world I turn MY HANDS takes care of what I learned CONNECTING earth and water air and fire SOWING TIME AND LIGHT into new lines that inspire I created an ADD shape, used natural dyes on fabric of silk, wool and rami and found a usefull form for meetings. The natural dyes communicate in a special soft color language.
