so suggestive. what era, we wonder. are these servant costumes/ asylum garb? we don't know, but here is a kind of reverence for cloth in service to costume.
The low contrast aspect of the processing really allows the abstraction of these varying pleats and textures to creep up on you - I mean that in a good way! The wider horizontal strip on the right echoes and acts as continuation of the narrower one on the left, with the horizontal strips on the cuff acting as a bridge. "Wears well" with every extra look. I can imagine this as a subtle charcoal sketch. If this were my image, I may have tended toward a harsher overall contrast in the processing, and I think that would have been a mistake.
Abstract art done in fabric. Very cool. Because it's photo-realistic, as abstraction it's taking a new path. About the central vertical strip that overlays it all, I can't decide, subjectively speaking, of course, whether it's bold or distracting. I think I'm behind the artistic curve on this one. The subtle variety of tones and textures is very satisfying.
