RECLAIM Textile Assemblage Wall Art

This textile assemblage wall art, titled RECLAIM, was my first exploration into natures ability to ‘Reclaim’ the man made.

Socially conscious art and fashion has inspired me to be an up-cycle enthusiast, where I consider the environment by reducing the use of new raw materials, and using ‘waste’ instead.  As a continuation of this philosophy, much of my wearable art, and assemblage installations, are inspired by the fact that nature will ‘RECLAIM’ almost anything over time. Whether it be a shipwreck or an abandoned building, given the chance nature’s force will slowly take it over.

“Nature inspired textures made from up-cycled clothing, give me such a thrill!”
