Delicate, colorful, bright, ephemeral — these are all words that can describe Suki Kwon’s unique fabrics. She works with scraps of fabric, throw-away Plexiglass, scraps of metal, wood chips, tree branches and leaves, and anything else she stumbles upon. “I begin each piece by boiling leaves and/or tree bark to extract dye colorants,” Kwon explains. “I have my own spectrum of colors derived from natural resources. Conventional, synthetic dyes are often harmful to humans and the environment. The dyes with which I work, are safe and non-toxic. Additionally, hues from natural dyes are deeper, richer, more subtle and, in my opinion, more beautiful.” Each piece of fabric is hand-sewn, creating one-of-a-kind patterns and textures. Each piece of fabric comes together to create a rich, dynamic tapestry, much like the city of Dayton itself. The Dayton Greek Festival, which takes place Sept. 9-11, at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, 500 Belmonte Park North, is a perfect example of the tapestry of culture and heritage in action. Be sure to scope out the colorful traditional costumes!
