Textile Anthropocene
'Textile Anthropocene' tackles textile waste through upcycling reclaimed silk ties. Featuring hand-woven appliques crafted from repurposed vintage silk fabrics, naturally overdyed, it creates visually striking yet eco-conscious designs. By celebrating reuse and minimising waste, this project innovatively combines traditional techniques with sustainable practices, showcasing the potential of repurposed materials while addressing environmental concerns.
