Materials & Technique:
Many of the materials I use are rescued from landfill or upcycled fashion textiles and jewellery, for e.g. discontinued interior textile samples; vintage Japanese kimono, obi & temple alter cloths; Rajasthani wedding gown fragments; hand stitched textiles from Turkey & Uzbekistan. Of course, I also love contemporary fashion textiles & lots of embellishments too... metallic threads, wires, beads, buttons, treasures from nature... basically all sorts of decorative objects!
Where appropriate, all materials & embellishments are adhered to a base structure using strong holding acid free adhesive or jewellery glue.
