| Summary: | Traditional Indonesian woven fabric is a man-made textile product, made by
interlacing the warp and weft yarns together through a non-mechanic loom. This
fabric is one of the cultural heritage of Indonesia, which has become a
characteristic of one’s ethnic group or tribe. Among many variations of woven
fabrics around Indonesia, lurik is one of them that can be found in Central and
East Java. One of the trademark of this fabric is its lerek-lerek or horizontal and
vertical stripe patterns, which size depends on the width and length of the fabric
itself. Nowadays, most of the weaving companies shifts to machine loom because
of its effectiveness. This eventually results in the declining market for
traditionally-woven fabric such as lurik, and causing many of the lurik business to
close. This research is conducted to try and visually analyse some of the
traditional lurik fabric, and to approach exploring the fabric with slash quilt
technique. Slash quilt technique allows the surface of the fabric to be slashed to
gain different textures, colours, and a three-dimensional effect. The product of
this research can be an innovation for the lurik fabric, where the resulting textile
is able to be used to make fashion or interior products. |
