Description

Beautifully textured textiles in rich mossy greens with pops of soft teals, blue and green for a landscape in a brooch. Other sizes in this colourway are available. Wearable art made from offcuts. To limit my waste, I turn my colourful textile offcuts into jewellery. The embellished textiles are mounted onto 50mm commercial brooch backs using a strong fabric glue and have a standard rolling safety clasp. There are several available but each one is unique. Please select which one you would like from the drop down or choose random for a surprise. If stocks of your favourite colour way are low/out, do please get in touch with requests. OPTIONS need to be removed manually. I endeavour to keep the listing up to date but should there be a double or even triple booking, the first purchaser will receive it and the other buyer(s) will be asked to choose again or offered a refund. Because my work is concerned with the environment, I reuse clean packaging like tissue paper and padded envelopes. I can also wrap and send items as gifts directly with a note.

My work investigates change over time, not just eroding or decaying but new layers of growth, giving juxtapositions of structure and colour. Recent work highlights the issue of plastic pollution and the permanence of disposables through sculptures that combine embellished textiles and cement cast in plastic waste, inviting us to consider the packaging that we use and discard on a daily basis; objects that are so lightweight and seem so insignificant that we barely notice them. Naturally inspired textures emphasise the way our waste becomes subsumed into the natural world around us. I create coastal inspired textures using a combination of embellishing and embroidery; blending a variety of recycled fabrics to create subtle variations in tone. These are stitched inside waste plastic to cast true to life pieces with cement giving a distinct contrast between the manmade structure of the packaging and the soft natural textures of the textiles.
