MOLE—Shibori
Special editioned one-of-a-kind shibori dyed Mole shirts from LA garment and dye-work studio ess.y.ess. The artist examined the amount of labor involved in the process of mole-making with that of shibori dye-work. The result is intricately laid dye designs, crafted after a laborious process of folding and washing.
"I mixed a color that reminded me of mole rojo and the red grease stains I'd get on my clothes as a kid. I used shibori techniques to make a different unique design on every shirt. The process involved making little consistent folds and binding the cloth with a tiny knot after tiny knot. It reminded me of the mole-making process, with each ingredient having its specific preparation: toasting the sesame seeds, charring the tortilla, soaking the chiles.”
