Introduction to the exposition in Taos by Marie Moore, Apple Inc.
....The juxtaposition of hard concrete and transparent glass serves to remind me of the human condition—how we all have a hard exterior at times, but also a radiant soul that can shine through. ....Mascha’s work leaves us to wonder about what is not there, and encourages us to seek a deeper and less obvious understanding. Her work, like Larry’s, has a beautiful transparency, and she masterfully incorporates elements from the natural environment. ....

textile forum about Mascha Mioni at the 8th ISSymposium in Hong Kong
Mascha Mioni's works Karukareb I and II, dyed with redbush-tea in the art magazine textile forum
MASCHA MIONI / CH
This painter and textile artist studied katazome under Shinzo Kajiwara in Tokyo 1994/95. Her art-to-wear has featured at various shibori symposia as well as the exhibition "Wearable Art - Draped, Shaped, Flow and Shadow" held at the Hong Kong Design Institute from 14th Dec. 2011 to 13th Jan. 2012.
"Mascha Mioni expresses art through clothing. She is often guided by coincidence, for instance during a stay in South Africa where she was forced to use natural dye because her 15 litres of Dupont dyes did not get through airport security. The colours produced by dried red bush (rooibos) tea are a reflection of Africa - its landscape, often bleak and containing thousands of browns, ochres, beiges and yellows.

The reknown textile artist Christina Conklin/USA comments the exhibition:

Mascha Mioni at the 8th Internationalen Shibori Symposium in Hong Kong
Mascha Mioni was invited to the group exhibition at the 8th International Shibori Symposium in Hong Kong.
The exhibition
"Wearable Art - Draped, Shaped, Flow and Shadow"
at the
Hong Kong Design Institute
took place from Dec. 14, 2011 to Jan. 13, 2012.
Mascha Mioni exhibited her two art-to-wear dresses Karukareb I und Karukareb II.
Mascha Mioni expresses art through garments. Intellectual analysis and planning are not important to her. She is often guided by coincidences, as for instance in Sotuh Africa, where she was forced to use natural dyes, because upon leaving Switzerland airport security confiscated her 4 gallons of Dupont dyes from the checked baggage.
The colours produced by dyeing with dried redbush tea (Rooibos) reflect Africa. The often bleak landscape, displaying thousands of browns, ochres, beiges and yellows,...
