Tyvek paper, ink

Maude Andrade has worked in several mediums over the course of time,designing textiles and painting. Her motivation as an artist comes from working with materials, processes, and systems. She works in depth with a single process to discover the natural tendencies of materials pushing a technique in as many permutations as possible.

In this series of unstretched, unframed, unbound paintings, she is interested in merging her knowledge of dyeing fabric and painting on a manmade paper-fabric material Tyvek, to create free floating canvases with symbolic references to traditional Japanese Noren fabric dividers. She creates abstract images using traditional and slightly deconstructed Shibori fabric dyeing techniques of stitching, pleating, and clamping with thinned paint or ink as dye. Working with Shibori on Tyvek suits her purposes of working in a hybrid manner and encourages her to rethink and question her preconceived ideas of both painting and dyeing fabric.
