Repurposed
The Repurposed series explores how we can continue to use and value ‘waste’ materials. Hand-woven works were created using industry waste yarn and handmade cordage. The cordage is made from linen warp ends leftover from previous projects and combined with linen threads leftover from a previous work, 'No Away'.
Repurposed I and II were shown at Design Nation’s Our Journey exhibition in 2022 showcasing excellence, diversity and sustainability in craft and practices.
