The research comprises practice-led studio inquiry, theoretical analysis and a personal narrative drawn from my experience of the Australian landscape and appreciation of the traditional arts of Japan. This exegesis examines the scholarly arguments that attempt to define and characterise Australian identity in fashion/textiles and art in order to contextualise how Japonism has been utilised in relation to it. I examine selected works by contemporary and historical artists including Florence Broadhurst and Akira Isogawa who have deliberately hybridised Australian and Japanese aesthetics, resulting in which I term ‘Australian Japonism’. The spatial arrangements and textile print designs within ukiyo-e (Japanese ‘pictures of the floating world’) have been a prime source of aesthetic inspiration for my theme of ‘Imaginary Aesthetic Territories’. I find correlations between the space indicated in Japanese pictorial principles and the open space of the Australian environment, and combine this with conventions of constructed exoticism inherent in Japonism. The consideration of traditional aesthetic qualities such as yūgen (subtly profound, mysterious grace) and wabi-sabi (beauty of things imperfect) also plays a crucial role in the development of this research. I investigate how these sensibilities can find a translation into Australian design, in my own work and that of others, teasing out the theoretical implications of working in this field. I draw from the commentary of scholars in the fields of Australian art and dress history, art theory, and Japanese aesthetics; from cultural and fashion theorists; and from the guidance of my own creative-led practice. My creative production involves the design of illustrative repeating patterns of Australian motifs focusing on flora, fauna and landscapes for contemporary fashion textiles. The patterns are presented as a modern form of ukiyo-e art, where an emphasis on the non-verbal communication of dress adds to the narratives introduced in the print designs. My studio practice therefore sits in a field which speaks equally to the disciplines of art, fashion and textile design. By utilising traditional compositions of Japanese pictorial space, asymmetrical and organic forms and the ‘sophisticated minimalism and freshness which is somehow eternally up-to-date’ (Snodin and Howard 1996 210), it is intended that the final works clearly represent cultural fusion with Japanese aesthetics whilst maintaining a recognisably Australian position of origin in order to update and replace previous stereotypes of kitsch Australiana. By considering the diverse interplay between Japonism in Australian fields of art and design as well as my relationship to and interpretation of the Australian landscape, this exegesis contributes to evolving discourses on Australia’s cultural identity and investigates how the processes of fusion and hybridity can create new and imaginary aesthetic territories. 3 Table of Contents Declaration……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………..…………..1 Acknowledgements…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………….2 Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……...….…..3 Table of Contents…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………4 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…..6 Background to the Research…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………7 Orientalism…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…….9 Field of Inquiry……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…..12 - Textile and print……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….….12 - Fashion and art……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..……..15 - Fashion illustration and digital design…………………………………………………………………………………..………17 Practice as Research……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…….20 Chapter Overview………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..……..21 Chapter One Australian Fashion and Textile Design Identity – Landscape, Australiana and Hybridity……………..…..23 Nation as Landscape…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…....24 Textile Identity Through Motif…………………………………………………………………………………………………….….….27 Australiana and Australian Fashion Identity……………………………………………………………………………….….…..30 Hybridity, Diversity and Globalisation…………………………………………………………………………………………………36 Chapter Two Japanese Aesthetic Traditions in Edo Era Japan…………………………………………………………………….…….…41 Ukiyo-e……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….….….43 Traditional Japanese Aesthetics………………………………………………………………………………………………….….….46 Kachō-ga…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….….….50 Textile Design in Ukiyo-e…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……..52 Chapter Three Japonism in Australian Art and Printed Textile Design………………………………………………………………..…62 Japonism in Australian Art……………………………………………………………………………………………..…………….……64 Japonism in Australian Printed Textile Design Post 1970s……………………………………………………………..…..70 Chapter Four Japonism in the Work of Florence Broadhurst………………………………………………………………………….…...77 Early Life and Career…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…...78 The Resurgence of Florence Broadhurst Designs and Timeless Design…………………………..…………………..81 Cultural Fusion………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...…85 On the Surface………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...…87 4 Chapter Five Japanese Aesthetics in the Work of Akira Isogawa…………………………………………………………………….….89 Early Life and Career……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….….……..91 Akira Isogawa’s Aesthetic……………………………………………………………………………………………………….……...…93 The ‘Moment’ Between Florence Broadhurst and Akira Isogawa…………………………………………….…….....96 Cross-Cultural Influences………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……….98 Collaborating with Akira Isogawa……………………………………………………………………………………………….…...100 Chapter Six Imaginary Aesthetic Territories – My Antipodean Floating World……………………………………….…….…106 Drawing the Landscape with a Wabi-Sabi Sensitivity……………………………………………………………….……...107 East-West Imaginings…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…….….115 The Fashion Image of Ukiyo-e………………………………………………………………………………………………….….…..119 Exoticism, Cultural Yearning and Preservation of Diversity…………………………………………………….…….….125 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……….…131 Bibliography………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...….….134 List of Figures………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…..145 Appendix…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………............154 5 Figure 1.

  • Fashion's Influence on Garment Mass Production
    Fashion’s Influence on Garment Mass Production: Knowledge, Commodities and the Capture of Value Sally Weller A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Strategic Economic Studies Victoria University, Melbourne AUSTRALIA October 2003 ABSTRACT In affluent communities, it is difficult to think about clothing without considering issues of fashion. Yet, in analyses of the garment industries, fashion is rarely considered in detail, and is certainly not analysed as a structuring force over the configuration of garment production industries. Yet through fashion, garments as commodities are complexly embedded in social and cultural processes and in the specificities of place. Although the structures of the global garment production industries have been the subject of numerous studies from a variety of theoretical perspectives, none hitherto have addressed the influence of fashion on the structures and locations of garment production. This thesis begins with the idea that fashion is a complex and influential form of knowledge. It explores the effects of fashion ideas on the global garment system through a case study of the ideas and commodity flows that bring fashions and garments to the Australian market. It traces the interconnections between global knowledge flows and global commodity flows in a manner attuned to the relationships between knowledge, power, industrial organisation and the capture of surplus value from the production system. The analysis highlights how Australia’s position in garment production is framed by its geographical position on the periphery of the fashion world. Fashion knowledge is a complex form of knowledge with four interrelated expressions.

The objective of the project was to grasp the current state of how people are engaged in the traditional ways of weaving, dyeing and making cloth in the Ryukyu Islands.1 Throughout the project, we came to think it important to understand two points in order to see the direction of those who are engaged in manufacturing textiles in the Ryukyu Islands. The points are: the diversification in ways of engaging in traditional cloth making; and the importance of multi-generational relationship in sustaining traditional cloth making.

The influence of Japanese art is a phenomenon that is now called Japonisme , and it spread widely throughout Western art. It is quite hard to make a clear definition of Japonisme because of the breadth of the phenomenon, but it could be generally agreed that it is an attempt to understand and adapt the essential qualities of Japanese art. This thesis explores Japanese influences on British Art and will focus on four artists working in Britain: the American James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), the Australian Mortimer Menpes (1855-1938), and two artists from the group known as the Glasgow Boys, George Henry (1858-1934) and Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933).

  • Selected Artworks by Chris O'doherty Aka Reg Mombassa Viewing By
    SELECTED ARTWORKS BY CHRIS O’DOHERTY AKA REG MOMBASSA VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Christopher O’Doherty, also known as Reg Mombassa, is an Australian musician and artist. He is known for his membership in bands Mental as Anything, Dog Trumpet and The Pinks. He worked with Mambo Graphics designing T-shirts and posters since 1986 and exhibited paintings, drawings and prints at Watters Gallery from 1975 to 2018. Beneath the humour in his work lies the expression of serious insights and sympathies. O’Doherty’s oeuvre is shaped from allegorical landscapes that create lingering, enigmatic sensations to both invite and unsettle his audience. His depictions of the familiar Australian landscape are imbued with an atmosphere of the immaterial to build a soft pulsing anticipation and gnawing stillness within his work. In the words of Australian art historian Chris McAuliffe, “In O’Doherty’s hands, every horizon hides an unreachable place where we long to be, every hillside implies an opposing slope that we’ll never know”. His diverse range of projects also includes taking part in solo and group art shows in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, USA, France, Britain, China and Thailand. He has had a survey show at the S.H. Ervin gallery in 2007 and Manly Gallery and Museum in 2018 with his brother Peter O'Doherty. His designs were featured in the Closing Ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, and he designed the graphics for the 2013 Sydney New Year’s Eve celebrations. In 2001 the Victorian Tapestry Workshop invited Reg to contribute a design for a 2 metre square section of a 43.5 metre long Federation Tapestry to be completed and installed in the Melbourne Museum.
