collage "Back View of Kimono" by Carrie Scott


The “Back View of Kimono” was inspired by the “Femmage” of Miriam Schapiro.
Schapiro celebrated the beauty in women’s use of material and technique to produce art that had been overlooked throughout history.

Also having a great interest in Eastern culture, I wanted to create something reminiscent of a kimono while still encompassing a bit of abstraction.

To support a more abstract feel, I created this by purely on my memory of the appearance of a kimono.
I combined different patches of material resembling silk brocade in several layers and angles to complete “Back View of Kimono”.
