'Rebar'
Rebar is the realisation of an ongoing exploration into the themes of identity of place, displacement, and the ever-changing landscape of the city. It references designs by 18th century Huguenot silk weaver James Leman of Spitalfields, and the brutalist lines of the now demolished Heygate Estate in south east London.
All of the coloured yarns used in this piece have been dyed using avocado waste, collected from local cafes and donated by friends.
