CHIMCHIM'S experience an artist is one in emergence, learning, and exploration. This experience focuses on dyeing of fabrics through the use of indigo, turmeric, walnut and other plant based dyes available. Materials used are either silk, chiffon, linen or cotton. The dyeing of silk as painting is inspired/addresses themes of nature, memories, healing, lived experiences, and the water elements. Poetry is used as a tandem to the dyed silk painting. This is a journey that invites healing through art whilst navigating complex emotions, lived experiences, finding ones voice, comprehension of lived environment to spaces occupied, reflection and contemplation.
