Sari
to Sarong: Five Hundred Years
of Indian and Indonesian Textile
Exchange by Robyn Maxwell
sari to Sarong
brings together some of the greatest surviving
examples of traditional Indian and Indonesian
textiles to demonstrate the remarkable exchanges
of ideas, materials, designs, and imagery--royal
and religious--between the two great cultures
of India and Indonesia over the last 1000
years. The publication shows not only the
great variety and beauty of the cloths but
also the many sources of inspiration carried
across the Indian Ocean by sailors and merchants,
priests and warriors.
Drawn
from the National Gallery of Australia’s
famous Asian textiles collection,
the silks, cottons, batiks, gold
brocades, tie-dyes, and embroideries
feature Ramayana epics, elephant
and camel processions, trading
ship and floral designs from Indian
chintz.

 Pacific
Pattern by Susanne Kuchler
(Author), Graeme Ware (Author),
Glenn Jowitt (Photographer)
A lavishly
illustrated survey of Pacific fiber
art, with a stunning compilation
of contemporary, archival, and museum
images—an indispensable sourcebook

and architects.
Pacific Pattern provides a visual journey
through the history of the Pacific, the
techniques associated with fiber and fabric,
and their cultural relevance to the people.
It is the first book to reach beyond the
ritual domain to encompass patterns in the
everyday sphere, including the traditional
patterns found in floor coverings, cooking
containers, or storage baskets and the use
of fiber art in architecture and interiors.
327 color illustrations.

and tremendously engaging empirical
studies of cloth and clothing in

the materiality of clothing, the

interdisciplinary projects in cloth
and clothing. |
