Overlooked

2022
Overlooked was derived from my interest in repurposing waste material through natural dyeing processes. I wanted to explore unconventional sources of colour that looked beyond typical plant-based dyes.

The project was the winner of the PriestmanGoode x RCA live project, 2022.
Yarns were dyed in baths made using rusted iron and copper nails. The nails were soaked, and colour was stripped directly from the metal. The exploration tested different natural yarns and experimented with various dyeing and printing techniques.
The woven experimentations, dyed with old horseshoes, were shown as part of CMF focused exhibitions for New Designers and Clerkenwell Design Week.
