Through careful attention to form and material, these works translate architectural details into woven compositions, creating a dialogue between textile art and built environment.
Inspired by the interior architecture of a historic building, the woven interlace patterns echo the shapes, shadows, and structural outlines found within the space.
The extraction of natural pigments is a meticulous process that requires precision and planning at every stage. From gathering raw materials in the right season to preparing fibres and textiles with natural mordants.
The process transforms the inherent qualities of the materials, enriching them with colours that shift and evolve over time, responding to both environment and use.
Mud-dyeing utilises the byproducts of wild clay processing, turning waste into a resource. The natural pigments present in the soil, vary in tone depending on the balance of minerals and clay deposits. This practice has been documented across many cultures worldwide and has long been used in the colouring of silk,cotton, and wool.
