Maya Mour is selling work that she has been developing and producing since her Apparel Design Thesis Collection, the capstone of which was presented this past May at the Waterfire Arts center. Her work romanticizes her relationship to the stains and detritus of her everyday life. These marks and symbols of presence and the passage of time, such as rain, fall leaves, crumpled bedsheets, shedded undergarments, chipped nail polish, lip stick and coffee stains become facets of textile manipulation and creating pattern through digital fabric printing. Her work blends her digital photography practice, something she also academically pursued while at RISD, with her goal to make clothing that is inspired by the real physical world. Alongside photographic depictions of her subject matter on clothing, Maya Mour also embeds and mimics found object and ephemeral traces through printing, dyeing and embroidery. Since graduating RISD, she has been adamantly wearing her garments so as to research their wearability to then be able to perfect their design as it is placed in different contexts. She now has many of her thesis pieces in a range of sizes, hopeful to proliferate her vision and have girls wear and love her dresses, shirts, and tote bags so much that they too are covered in stains and tears. The work is meant to be both fine art and craft objects encapsulated into comfortable, everyday wear. The intention of each piece is to send it back out into the world where she found her inspiration. The dresses printed with images of rainy autumnal streets were taken along Benefit Street in Providence last fall, making RISD Craft the perfect occasion to purchase and wear one; to camouflage into the picturesque autumnal street!
