SciFi and Fantasy Art Batik Goddess by Sarah (´Saja´) Kellington


	Batik is a lot harder than it looks. This was a project for my fibers & fabrics class, where I learn really cool techniques and fail to make really cool art. I used an old sketch idea (World Spiri). Live and learn. Fiber reactive dyes on cotton, 11' by 16'.

8 Feb 2004	Alexandra Morris	Loading... mmm, textile art... The little bleed throughs give this picture a sense of life, as if it was a thing in motion that you happenned to capture a still of. In ironic contrast to the other Calenthes present here, esp given the serene blues and greens, I do somehow get a feeling of malevolence from this goddess, though. Might be the chance dye bleed into her face that resembles a single squinting eye. She is a well rounded deity I s'pose, can't have compassion without crossness I never pictured her as cross, but no-one is in the best of mood when hot wax is being dribbled on them.
