Alchemists in their own right, Morris and Ratté have long experimented with the application of precious metals to fabric through the techniques of resist dyeing and screen-printing. Morris and Ratté’s Animation series is the pinnacle of nearly nine years of collaboration in printing high-karat gold onto fabric, creating a result that is pliable, washable, and permanent. Their passion recalls that of William Morris, who a century earlier labored to perfect his natural plant dye recipes for textile printing.
