This layered work of silk, printed rice paper, acrylic, ink and washi paper draws on ikebana patterns collected during an artist residency in Japan. It reflects the deep heritage of fashion while confronting the reality of fast fashion: a system that prints cultural motifs onto cheaply produced blended textiles that are designg to be worn briefly and tossed aside. These short-lived trends come at a high cost - environmental degradation on a global scale. In contract, this piece encourages to contemplate what is enduring about art, craft, culture, and conscious creation.
