I’m Anthony Di Fazio, clothing designer and process artist based in Windsor, Ont.
You may have noticed from my clothing designs, there are some pretty interesting and unique shapes. I’ve always been interested in recycling and reusing objects. As I walk around I scavenge for materials and objects to repurpose into my art.
My clothing prints are largely inspired by this process. I take materials such as weeds, sticks, broken records, beach plastics, plastic bag warning labels (just to name a few) and apply these objects to different printing processes.
In this way my prints become a type of camouflage with the environment they came from.
My art making process is centered around collecting and repurposing waste, to find new and innovative ways of reusing these materials.
I delve into many different avenues for my art such as painting , performance art as well as sculpting print making and sound.
I have a background in fine arts from Fanshawe College, graduating in 2018. During my education I had received three awards; Zubickz Group Sculpting Project Award, Bob and Shelly Siskind Visual Arts Award and Satellite Project Space Award.
During my off time you can find me at the skateparks and collecting discarded and unwanted objects from local beaches and alleys.
I hope my clothing inspires the wearers and the observers to embody the resourceful lifestyle of using what we have available around us.
create with waste.
