Behold: the colourful, site-specific, tulle installations of Ana María Hernando, inspired by her childhood in Buenos Aires, where she observed the women of her family sewing, crocheting, and embroidering together every day. She sez:
As a Latina, I explore how the feminine comes forward in strength and flexibility, in beauty and in (an) unstoppable abundance of generosity.
In fairness.
More of Ana’s net worth here.
Net worth.
Ah forget you.
The elaborate self portraits of Peruvian artist Cecilia Paredes: her exposed skin painted, wearing robes that mimic the ornamental fabric backdrops into which she blends.
A conceptual fashion/art project by of geist.xyz which, as you already knew, is a study of ‘handcrafted algorithmic textiles and procedural surfaces’. To wit:
A synthetic ghost shifts simulated textiles from passive matter to live organisms. They behave like apparitions in an artificial choreography, with movements that are imaginary yet familiar.
All right then.
Artist Benjamin Shine takes single giant sheets of tulle fabric, then carefully folds and irons the semitransparent mesh to create detailed monochromatic’fabric paintings’ which, sez he:
…take their compositional cues from the fabric itself to reveal the inherent qualities of motion, fragility and transience.

Balloon (2010): a lovely cardboard and fabric short by Eric Tu that will make you happy, then sad.
Sorry.
