Tintes naturales, una aplicación textil.

Abstract

Be inspired by ancestral graphics to develop art and new designs has converted on a regular practice in the creative area. The research starts with the interest on revaluing ancestral practices such as extraction of natural dyes. At the same time, I want to contribute designing patters based on Shuar culture. Then of make a compilation of symbology and to study morphologically their figures, modules and patterns were designed. It was printed on three kinds of fabrics (yarn, linen and silk) through different dyeing and textile decoration methods. At the end of the methodological phase, a textile design proposal was reached. The fabrics were printed mixing both batik and stencil technics to be dyed by Achiote Bixa Orellana. In this way, the adhesion and relevance with the Suá American Genipa and the Achiote Bixa Orellana, on silk, was demonstrated.
