Combining shibori and sashiko, Nieves Carrasco works to create a dialogue between the more spontaneous dyeing and the more controlled stitching. Consisting of smaller modules, each piece contrasts the elements of freedom and containment. The stitched thread brings line, shapes space, and plays colour over the background of the dyed pattern.
