I covered artist Benjamin Shine's summertime Bergdorf Goodman exhibition for British art magazine After Nyne . I spoke to Shine about the creation process, his roots in the fashion business, and how in the world he decided to paint with fabric.

In his “Flow” series, Benjamin Shine shapes netting into captivating and serene portraits. The artist, inspired by the concept of mindfulness, has taken this approach to multiple scales. His recent, outdoor "Sky Flow" sculpture "Quietude" represents a shift forward for the artist, influenced by the smaller works before it on canvas. ("Quietude" photos by Mindbodygreen.)

These works centre around ideas of energy, impermanence and the relationship between the spiritual and the superficial.
