Cheltiké™ 002
Cheltiké™ 002
The new series of works from Shahla Dorriz, entitled Cheltiké™, translates from Persian to “40 pieces”. The informally-used method in Iranian villages was used to quilt and conjoin several disparate pieces of frayed and superfluous textiles together. Utilizing a garment pattern from Dorriz’s archived works from the 1990s, the new body of work features editions of one of Cheltiké™ works. One-of-one works handmade upholding the Iranian tradition of Cheltiké™.
Cheltiké™ 002 is an assortment of contemporary Iranian silk termeh, a historical handwoven linen from the Iranian province of Yazd from the Shahla Dorriz Archives (dating approximately 180 years), a historical hand-embroidery work from the Shahla Dorriz Archives (dating approximately 180 years), with contemporary hand-painted contoured sleeves.
