With the advent of spring, the cub ventures out watched by an owl in her tree. In the company of little bear, we visit a variety of animal homes starting with the cub and her family’s cave, dark and deep. ‘All of us need a place to rest – / A cave, a warren, a pond, a nest … // Wherever we may choose to roam, / We need a place to call our home.” So says Patricia Hegarty’s introduction to this look at the forest that is home to all kinds of creatures large and small. This exhibition is supported by Jin Ze Art Centre, Shanghai.Here are two books from Little Tiger that focus on nature and the changing seasons On the hand woven bases Pang has also tested making 3-dimensional motifs. Some are space-dyed and some were Gold-edged by hand. There are hand woven pieces using different widths of silk ribbons. The cut and fold embroidery on different widths of pleating creates interesting looks. Then pleating, cut and fold motifs and embroidery are added. Most pieces start from a simple base fabric, hand painted in gradation colours. Pang applies different handicraft techniques on each piece. Pang enjoys exploring and pushing the boundaries of traditional handicrafts.
Most of the fabrics for this collection have been specially developed using a combination of techniques including gradation hand-painting, tie dyeing, weaving and embroidery. The collection is a blend of traditional Chinese styles and Western influences.
Her latest collection to be exhibited at RMIT Gallery is a contemporary interpretation of a 1930s and 40s Chinese Wedding in Shanghai and the surrounding region. Pang currently divides her time between Shanghai, Hong Kong and Australia. She has worked with Australian labels including Akira and Willow. She focused on Chinese handicrafts like embroidery, hand painting and hand weaving. Her dynamic reinterpretation of materials attracted some of the world’s leading fashion designers such as Issey Miyake and Gianni Versace. Pang made a name for herself as a leather and suede designer in Hong Kong in the 1980s. Fascinated by traditional Chinese embroidery and silk weaving, Hannah Pang started working in Suzhou, China, in 2001, specialising in the development and the production of fashion fabrics.
