Strange Currencies takes its name from the swirling eddies that formed as paint moved through water — small, spinning currents that emerged on their own, the way water and air do when set into motion. Discovered within a larger hand-marbled artwork, the pattern captures a singular moment within a chaotic and ever-shifting surface.
Created through Mercedez Rex's signature marbling process and digitally reproduced on silk, each scarf carries the spontaneity of paint in motion — dusty rose, sage, and warm ochre folding into one another in unrepeatable detail. Watch the piece come to life in the studio video below.
Wear it around the neck, in the hair, tied to a bag, or framed as a small piece of textile art.
100% silk.
