"Off the Wall" solo
exhibition of new work by Christy Fisher features her clothing and accessory
designs as well as her new, unique "photographix" collection.
Christy's limited edition artwear is created
by hand in her studio in Jerome from fabric that is destined for the landfills
of Los Angeles. She recycles hundreds of yards of castoffs from mills in a process
she calls "fabric rescue.” This process includes driving to Los Angeles
and bringing back 300-400 yards of cast-off fabrics. Back in the studio,
Christy and her team washes, dyes and prints the fabrics -- then cuts and sews
each piece into great new skirts, tops, arm warmers, scarves and other wearable
art designs. As Christy calls it, "Saving the planet one skirt at a time."
Christy’s jewelry is created from recycled
glass and metals.
Both her clothing and jewelry lines have been featured in many publications as well as being carried in both the Smithsonian and the Museum of Modern Art Gift shops.

and colored.

the Jerome Artists’ Cooperative Gallery.
