Abstract
This thesis work consists of five tie-and-dye textile wall hangings. The accompanying thesis statement is an explanation of (1) the aesthetic development of the single-theme designs applied to the wall hangings, (2) the technical involvement of each of the wall hangings, and (3) a personal analysis of each of the tie-and-dye works. Technical knowledge and records of research work done with tie-and-dye are generally lacking and my work is therefore experimental in approach. My experience and background as a painter led me to a painterly approach to tie-and-dye techniques. The designs used in the five wall hangings are conceptualized from ideas relating to natural elements such as water, fire, minerals, soil, etc. Techniques, fabrics, and aspects of the dyestuff are discussed. Special attention is given to the tritik (sewing-resist) technique.
