Terry Logan (formerly Nokell), The Logger’s Daughter, is back with a new name and new direction.
A graffiti-covered train trestle in the Pacific Northwest provided the inspiration for her latest “Graffiti to Garment” designs, stitched from fabric printed with images of the spontaneous artwork.
Just like the huge rock in the hillside above Kalaheo High School, the vintage train trestle had become home to students’ colorful expression over the years, though Logan said the art changes frequently.
After stopping to take photos one day, she returned later to find the walls less interesting, painted over in pink.
But the previous artwork is now preserved in jackets and bags utilizing fabric printed from her photographs, and embellished with her handmade ceramic buttons and other details.
Logan is a recent recipient of an arts grant from Cultural Arts Foundation NW, which allowed her to convert her photos into fabric. She also received a serger, which she put to use in the stitching and applique details incorporated in her newest designs.
She will share her work, as well as her popular crazy-quilt gypsy skirts, African cotton jackets, dusters and ceramic-and-magnet eyeglass holders during a trunk show from 5 to 7 p.m. today at the Louis Pohl Gallery, 1142 Bethel St.
Her designs are also carried at Haleiwa’s Silver Moon Emporium and LMS Boutique in Manoa.
