‘Oasis’ handpainted silk satin devoré tunic Carole Waller archive
A painted silk viscose satin tunic painted mint green with pink. The devoré printing process etches away some of the satin surface to create areas of transpaency in the shimmery cloth. The fabric is very delicate and must be treated carefully or the transparent areas will gently tear. Made in 2001 as part of a collection called ‘Oasis’ – and sold through Harvey Nichols and Liberty in London.

Each garment and scarf by Carole Waller is unique. They are handpainted and screenprinted by me at my studio just outside Bath. I use my fabrics as unprimed ‘canvases’ and the paintings evolve as I work so no two pieces are the same. I welcome visitors anytime, by appointment. The studio and small showroom is at our home 4 miles east of Bath on the A4, with good parking and a warm welcome. Waller and Wood also shows beautiful stoneware ceramics by Gary Wood.
The code for this piece is C7.5
