Shirts made from weathered old textiles hang in an exhibition called “Blue Collar,” reflecting on the working class and how textiles can be transformed.
An exhibition of shirts made from fabric as old as 300 years is on display at Sized Studio in Los Angeles.David Grocott and Bridget Dwyer are the kind of people who think that time and age add beauty to things.
Their latest project has been years in the making. On Thursday, their solo installation, called “Blue Collar,” debuted at the Sized Studiowith an exhibition that started with a 300-year-old piece of fabric amassed by the duo over the past six years. This 80-foot-long textile piece was dyed with indigo, weathered outside in the elements and then cut and sewn into 64 T-shirts that are hanging in the art gallery for the next two weeks.
While they were waiting for the fabric to age, the pair stayed in downtown Los Angeles’ Arts District, which is still home to a few textile factories, foundries and other industrial spaces that have been part of the neighborhood for decades. Grocott, who was still a little jet-lagged after arriving in Los Angeles, was getting up at 4 a.m. to 5 a.m. and taking early morning walks.
