Art on the wall. Design on the body. One hand behind both.

Tia Massih paints places from above, framed like a tile, and is turning those borders into clothes. Sydney based, made to order.

Design

The tile borders, off the canvas. Prints, tees, and the first dresses, made by her.

In the making

Why both

A painting is one wall. A print is every wardrobe.

The paintings are where the borders are born. Design is where they travel. Same colours, same hand, same Sydney kitchen table it all started on.

About

Tia Massih

Painter first. She grew up around saints and crosses, then painted a tennis court from above and wrapped it in the kind of border you find on a Lebanese tile, and a series was born.

She's studying design and learning to make dresses, and the borders are becoming prints. The art pays for the fabric. The design is where it goes next.

Sydney based. Ships Australia wide.
