Slender and serene, a Lanna (northern Thai) woman holds a basket of blossoms. Dressed in traditional clothing, she is graceful and beautiful. Alaya Cholprasertsuk portrays the girl in batik on 100% cotton cloth using modern, stylized lines and a palette of terracotta tones. Batik is a fabric art in which the cloth is stretched on a wooden frame and the design sketched with a pencil. Then a mixture of melted wax and resin is painted onto areas where color is not desired and the fabric is dipped in a solution of reactive dye, water, salt, and sodium bicarbonate. When the fabric is crumpled into the dying solution, the wax cracks, creating an attractive network of fine lines. The wax is removed and the process is repeated for each color utilized. Finally, the cloth is washed and rinsed to remove any excess dye. |
