‘Pieces of Dreams…an eco-logical collection of art to wear by Christy Fisher’ at The Jerome Artists Cooperative Gallery opens Saturday, March 1, 2014. The collection’s theme calls attention to a part of the fashion industry that is usually reserved for insiders. Over 10% of landfill in Los Angeles alone consists of textiles…a result of waste in the manufacturing end of the business. Christy does what she calls “fabric rescue”. Scavenging warehouses in the fabric district, she salvages hundreds of rolls of fabric that would otherwise be turned to waste. Working from her Arizona studio, the textiles are dyed, printed and turned into fantastic pieces of wearable art. Christy began her career in the 1960s, designing stagewear for numerous rock and roll acts, including Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and Eric Clapton. In the 1980s, her knitwear collection was featured at Macy’s. She also has a highly collectible jewelry line that utilizes recycled glass, aluminum cans, and vintage imagery. Both collections are available at the Jerome Artists Cooperative Gallery 502 Main Street in Jerome, Arizona. Come meet Christy during First Saturday Art Walk on March 1.Refreshments will be served from 5-8 PM. The show runs through April 25.
