Collection
Sept - Oct

SOLD
Meisen Kimono, popular in the early C20th, were
inspired by Art Deco designs popular at the time. Characterized by
a striking and blurred graphic effect created from combining
dominant bright colours with large scale all over patterning, they
have a soft, slightly crisp handle and are light to medium in
weight. As wearable art, these pieces are fun and can be worn today
by women of all ages ...

Jenni has created unique, hand made
cloth-dolls using Ziguzagu Japanese vintage textiles and other
decorative materials sourced from Afghanistan, Indonesia,
Japan and France.
I am a
collector. These treasured dolls have enabled me to put
to good use many of the precious bits & pieces which
clutter the old brewery where I live in the river port town of
Goolwa at the mouth of the Murray River in South
Australia
With each doll,
the fabrics have suggested both the garments and the
personality, and while they all have their own unique look, it is
important to me they have the oneness of our
universal face
