About the Item

Caviar20 has long admired Lizz Aston's evolving career and body of work. We are pleased to be offering her incredible creations. Like the best of Aston's work, she begins by embracing an anonymous textile pattern, such as a hand-made lace doily, and then manipulates it digitally before creating a new contemporary descendant. These transformed and augmented patterns are then hand-cut on fine Japanese Kozo paper (aka mulberry paper) which are then painted, stained or dyed. In this fascinating work Aston masterfully creates a color scale of blues that begin with a Caribbean-sea blue gradually arriving in a dynamic and saturated midnight-blue. This impressive gradient of color is one of Lizz Aston's signature techniques. To further emphasize the intricate form, Aston elevates the cut-out with a careful structure of pins thereby creating dramatic shadows.
