Doshi

Artist

In Doshi’s 40 year design career she has created costumes for Theatre, Dance, Ice-Skating, Stunt Shows and TV. During that time, she worked across the United States in various venues, including Shakespeare festivals, Regional Theatres, Sound Stages, Theme Parks and Ice Rinks. Doshi’s costume design is identified by her creation of the fabric for the costumes through dyeing, printing, discharging and otherwise manipulating the fabric surface. Her work in color and texture is an integral part of her design.

In 1999, Doshi took her experience in theatre and fabric into the fiber art arena and began creating wall pieces and wearable art. She combines an exploration of shaped resist dyeing with a striking color palette to create work that pulsates with energy. Most recently she is exploring eco-printing, working with leaves, flowers and dyes to make an imprint on the silk and combining it with Shibori techniques.

“The soft edges, shapes and shadows left in the fabric, the colors that resonate with the essence of the life experience, the textures that reflect the dynamism and sensuality of life’s richness all create dynamic, graceful and evocative statements that inspire me to create personal and expressive pieces of wearable art and textiles.”
