Share a Painting Series 3
Artist: Marissa Gonzalez

 

Title: "Oud and the Moroccan Door" (93/130 cms)

The Material:

"Jusi is the Chinese word for "raw silk" and is the term used for fabric woven in
the Philippines from silk and pineapple fibers. When embroidered, Jusi is the
material used for Philippine formal wear for both men and women. By using it as her
medium, Marissa Gonzalez pays tribute to Philippine materia prima and explores other non-traditional use for Jusi".
