‘Cloth wears but never dies’

 

Functional, efficient, portable, and lightweight, colth has limitless uses.  Cloth is the closest thing to your skin, through this, I understand that when people see your dress, they see you, see your story. This subtle form of storytelling through the exquisite patterns I am able to create as a dyer is what started me on my creative journey and is still one of my key motivations.

Years spent honing my art have deepened my respect of this ancient tradition so steeped in the lives of women, It is the combination of cloth, patterns and culture that drawsme to the vat again and again, that, and the combination of colours and dyeing techniques that transform old cloth to new.

I am passionate about this art discipline that requires me to surrender to the serendipity and the creative hand of nature producing one of a kind pieces that can never be exactly replicated,

I love the mess; I love the play; I love the surprise of finished cloth dancing dry in the breeze.

Cloth is immediate and visible, is wears but does not die’
