C'est doux, c'est beau. Bonne nuit, pleine d'étoffes douces légères et fleuries...

Edith Rewa fait des tissus magnifiques. Cette jeune australienne trouvé son inspiration dans la nature, et elle a la précision des botanistes. Elle fait des quantités de croquis de plantes (ou d'oiseaux d'ailleurs), puis les met en couleur. Je vous ajoute à la suite une vidéo de son travail.

T H E   P A T T E R N   P A T H O S  - E D I T H   R E W A - Here’s to a new episode of the pattern pathos series my lovelies! Today’s portrait is devoted to Edith Rewa, a Sydney based illustrator and textile designer whose passion for Australian native flora gave birth to a very unique and fascinating visual universe. Meet Edith. - Chloé

Growing up surrounded by bushland in rural Victoria, Edith developed a singular fascination for the natural world since her early youth. She spent a whole lot of time exploring her parent’s garden, collecting and drawing specimens. This early interest for botany constitutes the essence of her work. Edith’s stunning floral patterns are like a collection of naturalist’s etchings, incredibly realistic and detailed. Her approach flirts with science, as she likes to study each and every plants she’s drawing, getting to know their names and place of birth. Working surrounded by an impressive (and ever growing) series of drawings of various species, she even went to call her workspace the “Bush Museum”. Her meticulous hand drawings are delicate and soft, almost from another time. One of her latest project, Fossick, reflects her strong and uncommon visual identity. “I wanted to create a series of wearable Wunderkammers (cabinet of curiosities”) that document my own botanical explorations in and around Sydney, a wingding of new place and findings” she explains in an interview for The Design Files. This beautiful series of head scarves, described as “head museums”, just made my jaw drop.
