The shifting colours and shapes of the landscape around Skeleton Bay inspired this hand-dyed silk. Bull kelp salvaged from the shoreline creates the core forms, while a bath of natural tannins leaves behind soft, earthy layers of brown, blush and stone.
The unpredictable nature of the process means this piece cannot be recreated.
This is a one-of-one original textile artwork.

Bundle dyeing is a slow, hands-on process where natural materials such as seaweed and leaves are wrapped into fabric and gently steamed or submerged in dye, leaving behind soft, unpredictable traces of their natural colour and shape.
