True Colors, written by Keith Recker, presents the work and vision of 26 natural dye artists from around the world, opening a window into their culture, their lives, and the power of colour. The artist's stories are organized by colour and begin with white, traveling through the spectrum to blues, purples, reds, pinks, golds, arriving at varying hues of green. The colours are as extraordinary as the artists themselves: Handmade paper dyed with indigo in Ghana. Rare greens from a fungus-infested plant that grows in the Peruvian jungle. Blues that adorned ancient Briton warriors rediscovered in a Norwich studio. Purples from shellfish collected along the western coast of Mexico. Vivid coral dyes obtained from mushrooms foraged in northern California. New to this paperback edition is a chapter about Heartwear, a collaborative of artists and fashion designers who have created and supported indigo-dyeing projects from Benin to Morocco to India and beyond. Natural pigments aren't limited to cloth dyeing. They find their way into ceramic tile, glassware, pottery, artists' paints and pastels, all explored in Recker's lyrical narrative. Keith Recker is the perfect person to collect and share these timeless stories. His years of global travel, working with artisan groups and individuals as well as connecting them to influential designers in the fashion and interiors industries, put this book right on trend. Gorgeous, carefully curated photography connects the colours to ancient traditions and to the artists. True Colors provides an immersive visual experience and an inspiring travelogue of personal stories and practical information.
