Project 2: The Textile Transformation (Guna Mola Art)

We just sourced an authentic, stunning vintage Guna Mola textile panel (15"x 12") featuring a striking, hand-stitched stylized bird design. Instead of simply putting it in a frame, we want to partner with a local textile or apparel artist to breathe new life into a piece of vintage denim, heavy canvas, or outerwear using this gorgeous, layered geometric applique panel. We are looking for an artist who embraces a Bohemian, artisanal aesthetic, someone who can integrate this vibrant, storytelling textile into a piece that feels lived-in, soulful, and uniquely "West End."
