Palimpsest

My boyfriend told me about an artist doing something very related to my work (hopefully) but couldn't remember their name! And the interwebs is not being very helpful. So unfortunately I cannot provide any images of their work - I can describe it though.

The artist produced palimsests: they would create an image or artwork, and then inkjet print another image over the top. Then, as time wore on, the inkjet print would fade and reveal the image layered beneath. Artwork that evolves over time, slowly revealing more and more of itself.

Beautiful.

And the idea translates so well to garments: clothing that you get to know over time, garments constantly changing and offering you more.
