April's Featured Shop Artist: Marta Mouka
In my practice, I combine experimental botanical printing with traditional collage appliqué.
My process utilizes the ancient knowledge of dyeing silk fabrics with pigments that plants naturally produce, and the more contemporary method of botanical printing.
My colour palette is based on the pigments extracted from plants. The shades of natural dyes are complementary; they exist together in the same way as wildflowers in the meadow.
Unlocking pigments and tannins in the botanical prints is as important to me as the graphic vocabulary that shapes my work.
I draw inspiration from my daily contact with Ontario’s rural landscape.
