"I am inspired by the rhythm and movement of textiles around us, by how a rectangular piece of cloth can be reconfigured to accent the natural curves of the human form in the same way that sleek, modern architecture can highlight a natural landscape." - Amy Nguyen
As with intricately folded origami, Nguyen begins each piece by folding or pleating a rectangular section of white cloth. She stitches and manipulates the fabric through the dyeing process until deep, rich color and layers of texture unfold. Detailed machine stitching reveals additional subtle texture and dimension.
