Native Funk & Flash by Jaeopetti & Wainwright 1974
当時ヒッピーの聖地とされる、ベイエリアで1974年に出版された当時流行った、エンブロイダーをまとめた『Native Funk & Flash by Jaeopetti & Wainwright』 。
ビンテージのカテゴリーでは、継ぎはぎのボロとかも非常に手間が掛かっていますが、ヒッピー的な刺繍も相当の手間暇が掛かっていそうです。当時の若者達が着ていたシャツ、パンツなどは親御さんが縫っていたのでしょうか？ビンテージで見つけたら買わないわけにはいきませんね。

”This collection of contemporary folk art comes mainly from the San Francisco Bay area, but it is representative of a much more generalized return to home-decorated functional objects. It comes from my own point of view – as an observer of its emergence and development, as a folk artist, and as a participant in the culture from which it springs. Many of us have hungered for a cultural identity strong enough to produce our own version of the native costumes of Afghanistan or Guatemala, for a community life rich enough for us to need our own totems comparable to African or Native American masks and ritual objects. The native funk and flash in this book tell us something of that hunger and what we are doing to fill it, as well as something of the meaning of those artifacts from other places and times. My hope is to make the consciousness behind these folk expressions more understandable and accessible to others and to stimulate people to experience for themselves the joy and fulfillment of making their own art for themselves.”
