This collaboration between Gyan Shrosbree and Kathleen Shrosbree has developed from the platform of Gyan’s paintings, to paintings that walk, move, can be worn in specific relation to paintings on walls, or be taken home as wearable art. Garments designed and sewn by Kathleen are addressed with paint by Gyan in a conversational exchange that furthers the artists’ interests—fashion, painting, sculpture and human interaction.
