Introduction to the exposition in Taos by Marie Moore, Apple Inc.
....The juxtaposition of hard concrete and transparent glass serves to remind me of the human condition—how we all have a hard exterior at times, but also a radiant soul that can shine through. ....Mascha’s work leaves us to wonder about what is not there, and encourages us to seek a deeper and less obvious understanding. Her work, like Larry’s, has a beautiful transparency, and she masterfully incorporates elements from the natural environment. ....

Mascha Mioni in the journal "ETHOS: Dialogues in Philosophy and Social Sciences"
Asst. Prof. at İZMİR DEMOKRASİ ÜNİVERSİTESİ, Dr. Goezde Yetmen, writes in her essay in the journal "ETHOS: Dialogues in Philosophy and Social Sciences" on Wearable Art on p. 79f:
"... For example, Miyake's work "Mutant Pleats" suggested pleats in next season's fashion design trends. (Koda, 2004, p. 93) Like Miyake's "Mutant Pleats"
Tim Harding's "Oaks", Mascha Mioni's "Drache-Shibori" and recently "Body Skin and Hair" and "Perfect Hurts" by Sandra Backlund. Its effects on designs are unquestionably accepted. (Sterk, 2005, p.29), (Duncan, 2002, p. 124)
and p. 81:
"... Many of the Wearable Artworks are to be viewed and understood as works of art, not to be worn. Today's important representatives are Jorie Johnson, Tim Harding, Mascha
Mioni, Galya Rosenfeld, Sandra Backlund. ..."

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.

The reknown textile artist Christina Conklin/USA comments the exhibition:
"...Wearable Art: Draped, Shaped, Flow and Shadow, curated by Lydia Tanji and Elita Lam, included dramatic hats and gowns, as well as several shibori pieces, the most compelling of which were Mascha Mioni's redbush tea-dyed paper garments..."
