Chasuble
Not on view
The bold, blocky design of this fabric is articulated in gold and green, with foliage details in peach, pink and magenta. The effect is not unlike early eighteenth-century silks, particularly associated with Venice, of the type given the modern name "bizarre". However, the textile is thick, machined and mass-produced. The current garment has been carefully assembled from large patches of this textile, reclaimed and reused from an earlier iteration, machine-stitched together and combined with a new lining, almost denim-like, in a thick, hard-wearing beige twill.
