Something Pretty Normal for us.

Being one of Australia’s top pro labs brings a wide and varied array of printing requests. So when artist Anita Gadenne got in contact with us to print works for her latest exhibition it turned out that something Anita thought was a little different was actually pretty normal for us.

Anita (an alternative fashion designer and textile artist) told us after a short consultation that she was looking to get her work printed onto a textile fabric, something we have been doing for some time now here at Fitzgerald Photo imaging. Instinctivly our experienced consultant knew that our Eco Fabric was the perfect media for the job, and after showing Anita some samples she knew it was the right fit for the job, and her works were sent to print on our inhouse latex printer.

Now Showing

Anita's beautiful elegant works are now currently showing at the Moores Contemporary art gallery until the 27^th of May as part of the Passing Through Time Exhibition a joint exhibition showing Anita’s works alongside artists Barbara Douglas & Laura Mitchell.

A little more about Anita

Anita Gadenne is an alternative fashion designer and textile artist in Fremantle. Her studies have included, art and design, ceramics, textiles, printing, web design and digital arts. She graduated from Edith Cowan University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Contemporary Arts, majoring in Fashion Design.

The photographs of corn skins on fabric were created during the process of dyeing corn husks with natural dyes, to later use as weaving materials. At a certain stage in drying, the husks become quite translucent and almost skin-like with the veins and fibres showing through. Some of the dyes used on the corn skins are tumeric, purple carrots, bark, leaves, and dandelion root. It is an integral part of her process to document stages of development in her designs.

 

So go check out this great exhibion. Then tell us what you think? We would love to hear from you.

The Moores Contemporary art gallery is open 10am-4pm every day.
