MASCHA MIONI / CH
http://www.maschamioni.ch
This painter and textile artist studied katazome under Shinzo Kajiwara in Tokyo 1994/95. Her art-to-wear has featured at various shibori symposia as well as the exhibition "Wearable Art - Draped, Shaped, Flow and Shadow" held at the Hong Kong Design Institute from 14th Dec. 2011 to 13th Jan. 2012.
"Mascha Mioni expresses art through clothing. She is often guided by coincidence, for instance during a stay in South Africa where she was forced to use natural dye because her 15 litres of Dupont dyes did not get through airport security. The colours produced by dried red bush (rooibos) tea are a reflection of Africa - its landscape, often bleak and containing thousands of browns, ochres, beiges and yellows.

Mascha Mioni expresses art through garments. Intellectual analysis and planning are not important to her. She is often guided by coincidences, as for instance in Sotuh Africa, where she was forced to use natural dyes, because upon leaving Switzerland airport security confiscated her 4 gallons of Dupont dyes from the checked baggage.
