ARTIST STATEMENT
Made using only recycled textiles, this artwork entitled In Tentacles reflects on environmental concerns and addresses the relationship we have with the natural world. Focusing on consumption and the impact that fast fashion has on the natural environment, my work comments on the importance of being conscious of our involvement with the demand on fast fashion. Throughout the development of all my works, textile and the processes associated with fabric is consistent as it has been a big part of my life and interconnects into my families’ lives as well. Consider all fast fashion issues and solutions to reduce this
ARTWORK PROCESS
With new trends happening every day, the need for fast fashion has been increasing to alarming numbers. Society has convinced people into thinking having the latest trends and more in our closets is equivalent to being happy. To help reduce our feeding need for clothing without polluting water, and consumption we need to reuse and recycle clothing and textiles. With the idea of having wearable art, all mediums that have used to create In Tentacles have been all recycled and reused materials and scraps of textiles that had ’no more use’ and was to be thrown out.
