Oil on canvas and Art to Wear a the Museum Sursilvan, Cuort Ligia Grischa, Trun Until Oct 31st, 2007 Mascha Mioni shows her Art to Wear and matching oil paintings in the whole museum.
Mascha Mioni does not see a difference in artistic expression, whether she works on paper, creates an oil-painting on canvas, or colors silk for a dress. For decades it has been her mission to establish the creation of clothing as a form of art. By extending the process of painting on flat canvas to creating from the picture a human hull, she adds to her work a further dimension – the picture does not only become three-dimensional it is also filled with life. A painting, formed to a dress, can not only be viewed, you can enter the object of art, you can wrap yourself in it, put yourself into it.

Shibori is the collective term in Japanese for tie-dye, stitch-dye, fold-dye, pole wrap-dye, etc. It is translated into English as shaped-resist dyeing, because no comparable embracing term exists in English. World Shibori Network (WSN) is a grassroots organization formed in 1992 in Japan at the time of the first International Shibori Symposium. Our main goal is to create a network of artisans, designers, business people, schools, exhibitions to work together to support traditional cottage industires of tie&dye, which have roots in many parts of the world.
