Batik Statement IX

The lovely Jorine posed for me past Saturday wearing her own made hair jewellery of feathers from the tropical birds of Taman Indonesia. Earlier this year I made a ricecarpet for the same birds (see video below) and I was thrilled to hear that Jorine would be at the WinterFashionFair. Around her shoulders she is wearing colorful Batiks from the Taman Indonesia shop for this Batik Statement.

Thanks for this Batik Statement in fine feather!

More Batik Statements made at the Taman Indonesia WinterFashionFair soon here on my blog! I also posed with one of Jorine's creations!

The inspiration doesn’t only come from the technique, but also from the language of the patterns and the philosophy of Batik. On her blog ’The journey to Batik’ she writes about her discoveries, journeys and research. In 2009 and 2016 Sabine went to Java, Indonesia, to document to process of Batik making. In October 2019 she went to Indonesia to launch her current researchproject. In her researchproject she works on Retelling the History of the (Indo-)European Influence on Batik. From 2019 until December 2021 Sabine was a Research Associate at the Research Center for Material Culture in Leiden (NL) to research the batik collections in Dutch museums & archives. In her current research she focus not only on the maker, but also the wearer. Sabine writes for different platforms, organises events, gives talks, presentations and workshops. She not only gets inspiration from Batik, she also works on promoting, preserving and protecting Batik.
