The Indigo Flower Cloth
A continuation of project "Journey"
"This project celebrates the hand-craft techniques of Hmong textiles in contemporary apparel design."
There's more to paaj ntaub than beauty and aesthetics. They embody history, experiences, and sentimental values that make them a significant piece of Hmong culture. For my MFA journey, I immersed myself in the process of creating paaj ntaub by hand. This was a humbling experience, filled with challenges as well as rewards, that grounded me to the culture, the textiles and clothing, and my own creativity.
