Process Pant by Pamela Baker-Miller

One-of-a-kind wide-leg canvas workshop pants by Pamela Baker-Miller. The creative vision behind the first set of garments in the Frances May line was to design blank canvas items that people could adapt to their lifestyles. It was from this vision that John Blasioli and I created the first set of items (Studio Pants, Workshop Pants, Staple Tee, and Busy Tee). For this artist one-off, I reworked the original Workshop Pant to replicate the painting pants that I wore during my most cherished moments as a young artist. For me, the most exciting part of art is the process of making -- mixing paint, mark-making, scribbling ideas. The embroidery stitching mimics the markings left behind from wiping away wet brushes-a passive, automatic action while painting. In this case, the finished piece is the marks left behind from the act of making.
