ARTIST STATEMENT
Rémy’s
mission is to produce one-of-a-kind designs with a custom fit
that guarantee her clients one hundred percent satisfaction.
Rémy Pessah, a former process engineer, had worked in
the semiconductor industry for many years. With the slow down
in the industry, Rémy decided to shift careers and pursued
her childhood dreams of fashion design. Her shift proved successful.
Rémy has been accepted in many juried shows and is a
member of the American Craft Council. Her Artwear is currently
on display in a select number of haute-couture boutiques in
Carmel, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Palo Alto and San Francisco.
Rémy
wearable artwork combines the highest quality hand dyed silk
with designs that reflect her engineering background where geometry
and precision prevail.

Felting is one of the oldest and most versatile textile forms. “Nuno” (Japanese
for “fabric”) felting—a process melding loose fibers,
usually wool, into a sheer fabric such as silk gauze –brings a contemporary
style and look to an ancient method. Create wearable art, a wallhanging
or decorative piece using merino wool on silk. Your fabric creation will
be extremely lightweight, flexible and truly unique!
