'Textile Anthropocene' tackles textile waste through upcycling reclaimed silk ties. Featuring hand-woven appliques crafted from repurposed vintage silk fabrics, naturally overdyed, it creates visually striking yet eco-conscious designs. By celebrating reuse and minimising waste, this project innovatively combines traditional techniques with sustainable practices, showcasing the potential of repurposed materials while addressing environmental concerns.
‘Celebrating Nature’ emphasises the problem of textile waste and highlights its unseen potential through environmentally friendly textile design methods. The textile art pieces showcase the beauty of deliberately dyed, patchworked, embroidered and engraved silk remnants that have been creatively upcycled.
'Material Innovations' ingeniously combines traditional, indigo-dyed vintage silk patchwork with organic Hapa-zome/sublimation printed leaf appliques and intricate free-motion machine embroidery. The harmonious blend of heritage techniques and innovative processes results in a unique, captivating textile piece that celebrates sustainability and the relationship of tradition with modernity.
