Closing Reception
A compilation exhibiting successive symbolic states of an ancient Visual Language – Adinkra and Textile Art – Shibori Indigo. The Indigo plant-based dye is an effective magical chemistry method for producing linguistic fiber textile imagery. The textile begins as a blank state, proceeds through a finite number of well-defined transitions, when executed stimulates symbolic communication imagery crossing borders in ancient cultures to successive states eventually producing a modern Urban Language
– AL.GO.RYTHMS.
