Wrap Me Up

Mineral (earth) pigments are combined with a water based binder, and applied directly on stretched cloth. A process of over or under-printing, by hand using a traditional screen print to create patterns, which have been design using hand-drawing and photography. Imagery is manipulated digitally to create stencil artwork. Visuals are taken from nature and the environment.

Half-tone process is taken from a commercial printing background and adapted in order to minimize use of pigment in an effort to reduce the impact of the colouration on the environment. Unused pigment is captured and reused in direct application. Further value is added through stitch using reclaimed linen yarn waste created in the linen weaving process.
