The degreework is based on an ancient technique called Reverse appliqué which is popular among the Kuna Indians with their Mola blouse and in Hmong textile art. There are various ways of using the technique. The basic method which I have been focusing my work on is where two or more layers are put together, the motif is then stitched through the layers either by hand or machine stitched, one or more layers is then cut open around the edges of the motif in order to reveal the next coming layer. I believe this technique has not been explored enough in terms of materials with various properties, layers,and textures resulting in the same generic surface expression. This work looks for various ways to use these elements in order to find new surface expressions. The result is a collection which suggests new ways of approaching the technique with a variety of mixed surface expressions such as by exploring various stitch tension into the technique, or by using the material itself as the keystone into the technique when creating the material and not only as one of the layers. More importantly the multiple material explorations that was conducted throughout this study indicates the amount of possibilities this technique has to offer for further exploration. It is also a suggestion to use materials that might not be considered as the right proper materials for streetwear, sportswear looks which in the end surprised me will the collection surprise you?
