What better canvas for expressing messages about politics and social narrative through vividly illustrated textile art than the Japanese kimono?<\/p>\n
Deanna Tyson is a textile artist who transports ideas and messages around the world through that most ubiquitous, functional and accessible of forms \u2013 fashion.<\/p>\n
Her uniquely decorated kimono, wall-hangings, paintings, soft sculptures and stitched drawings have been exhibited in Bali, Jamaica, Mexico, The Netherlands, the UK and US.<\/p>\n
Deanna believes that artists have a duty to wrestle with the negativity of existence, as well as glory in the beauty of nature. She relishes the challenge of developing complex ideas, drawing parallels and finding metaphors, both to highlight the human condition and to question cultural and social mores. From this standpoint, she tells political tales and weaves social comments through her stitched, appliqued and painted textile art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
