Author and designer M. Kathleen Colussy explore this direction making digital kimono demonstrating an excellent match of high tech printing technology and traditions of kimono.
Last year she presented digital Kimono on art show TraDigital at Mark K. Wheeler Gallery Fort Lauderdale
According to Kathleen Colussy: the works are comprised of several different mediums including painting, photography, and digital rendering. The pieces have all been digitally printed on substrates of natural and synthetic fibers.
According to Kathleen her hopes are that in her art one can see that she enjoys exploring the freedom of combining several mediums into art that embrace and celebrate life, cultural diversity, spirituality, faith and the art of story telling.
For this reason she has referred to her art as Tra-digital, because her art reflects both the traditional and non-traditional means of expressionKathleen is ever trying to combine high tech and high touch to express a message of choice and consequences.
