“Household textile waste
and natural indigo dye,
both potent motifs working through ecological concerns, are used to form sculptures, installations, paper-pulp paintings, and wall-based works. The broad underlying theme is the relationship between human behavior and the natural environment. The salvaged textiles, already from paddock to product, worn thin and discarded, now redirected from landfill, are hand-dyed in shades of the plant-based indigo, before being transformed.”
