rusted

this series of work is inspired by life experience and nature … they are a visual response to our own and the earth’s interdependance and fragility, and my faith as it intertwines with that

upcycled and new fabrics, paper, cardboard and foam core were rusted in a series of solutions;  i also used shellac to seal the rusted surfaces of all but the fabrics

pva glues and pins were used when assembling the 3D items;  some plant-dyed or rusted fabrics, found objects and stitch were added

others are made predominantly from textile, using plant-dyed and/or rusted fabrics, stitch (including crochet) and embellishments)
