Natural colour is living energy; it is not fixed to a single moment, but continuously evolving over time as it inhabits the textile fibre.
In my co-creation with natural colour, I am invited to reflect on the duality of sensitivity and perseverance inherent in the natural world. It calls me to slow down, to observe and to harmonise, not only with the textiles themselves, but with the broader context in which they exist.
Growing a plant is to enter into a partnership with life and an investment in the future, an ancestral practice of cultivation and connection.
