Indigo sculpture, studio of Betty de Paris, Paris, France

Natural sculpture based on tree bark and dyed using indigo, by fabric artist Betty de Paris, in her studio at Cite Aubry, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, France. The Japanese indigo vat is a traditional dyeing technique using indigo leaf compost, a vegetal process involving no chemicals. Betty de Paris learned her art of traditional stencil dyeing and finishing from a master in Kyoto, Japan. Working as an artist, designer, consultant and Japanese interpreter, she has participated in numerous museum projects and workshops, regularly exhibits her work and speaks at international conferences.
