| In the field of textile design it is necessary to keep studying on the echo method that does not contaminate a great quantity of water or pollute the air. The batik is a long historical dyeing technique, which can express the details of design and is worthwhile to study as an artistic area. If its research would be done with soy wax instead of chemical wax, it could be possible to reduce the quantity of waste water and decrease the air pollution.
Soy wax is considered as a suitable material for the expression, with which the textile design development using batik technique can be continued.
First, this paper researched, in this regard, the origin of soy wax, its comparison with batik wax, and its strengths. Next, an interview with Deborah Bunny Bowen and a workshop at her atelier were done. She is one of the textile artists in the United States of America, which is the country of origin of soy wax, and published a dissertation on soy wax resist printing. Third, in order to compare the various cases of textile design of soy wax, different pieces of soy wax textile design and this writter`s researches on textile design using soy wax and own design works are compared and analyzed. As a result, it turned out that the most appropriate textile for the study on textile design was thin cdc(crepe de chine) silk using the wax mixed bees wax, which was easy to dye to express what was desired as it could make perfect resist.
Soy wax hereby could be used for the development of textile design since soy wax can be an eco-friendly material and can express distinctive style of an artist`s handwork as well. Digital printing combining soy wax will also provide diverse colors and present various design effects. The purpose and meaning of this study, therefore, could be found in that it is expected to utilize soy wax for development and application of current textile design according to user`s unique individuality and purpose. |
