"applied art" or "for art's sake"--i will sew and quilt by hand.

i am finally done with these geisha sets exploration. pegging it on some oriental art history to make sense of style.
the medium: textile, fabrics of usually discarded and reclaimed. with ephemeral aura, that evokes remembering, curiosity, wondering...

the subject: varied. this is just the part.

the process: hands, needle and thread as in no touch of technology, the hand-sewn stitches, hand-made effect, uncommercialising the commercial worn-out, distressed look are emphasized, paints, and lotsa hand bleed by the needles.

interpretation: the youth's glow, eagerness, uncomplications, natural lighting, sunlight-- streams of it, sunshine, will always be part of these all.


finally,the part of aesthetics and so called :-) theory in art :
"applied art" (if you want to use it)
"for art's sake" (you hang it by the wall. survey, study,contemplate on it, stare at it---till you can't no more)

i am embracing both. i am practical. in the low maintenance mode. artistically, graciously poor (whatdyamean?go figure) and bohemian.


ENJOY! these have been prepared with you in mind.



A wonderful weekend every one!









the geishas gathering pink(salmon) capelet



known as "Aj", Agape Joy Flaviano to many in the campus is this 5 feet tall slim morena coed.
she is done with her AB English degree, and is now pursuing her masteral in Psychology. she is 21 years old.
her eyes flood with glow and glint when she laughs and smiles.

and she is the elder sister of vim the 2nd of the very first model to agree model my wares. Aj Pedernal was the first. Scroll down further dears, and meet them.

having seen probably her little sister's pose, made her willing and excited to go and ramp on the lawn
and pavements of the COB and Science building.
she has done justice tho' with these geishas capelets, inspite of there's  just the three of us to stage these shoots.
and many on the previous shoots. low maintenance, low maintenance. 
quality? go ahead hit the zoooooom command!
