Material-led approaches for projects, spaces and story
Working with plant, mineral and earth-based processes to develop bespoke outcomes across textile, object, space and image.
APPROACH
Each project begins with material.
Colour is developed in response to:
Colour is developed in response to:
- landscape
- locality
- narrative
- season
Pigments, dyes and materials are selected or created to align with place and purpose - whether for performance, installation, textile or screen.
BESPOKE MATERIALS
Development of custom pigments, inks, dyes and art materials for specific projects.
This may include:
This may include:
- sourcing colour from local plants or earth
- working with waste streams (such as brick, ash, organic matter)
- producing materials aligned to historical or site-specific palettes
Where needed, additional pigments are sourced through trusted suppliers with strong traceability and material data.
TEXTILE & DYE WORK
Natural dyeing for cloth, set, costume, installation and spatial work.
Working across fibre and form - from cloth and fleece to rope, yarn and found materials - with colour developed through plant-based processes.
Natural fibres such as wool, silk, linen, hemp and cotton are most commonly used, alongside selected regenerative and plant-derived materials.
Plant matter is grown, gathered or responsibly sourced, working seasonally and in response to place.
Each piece carries variation, depth and the trace of process.
This extends to personal and ceremonial textiles, including plant-dyed woollen shrouds.
PERFORMANCE, FILM & INSTALLATION
Material development for set, costume and spatial environments.
Embedding narrative into surface and structure - where material is not decorative, but part of the storytelling.
Experience across performance design, film and site-based work.
COLLABORATION
Open to working with:
- artists
- designers
- production teams
- galleries and institutions
- schools and community groups
Projects can range from small-scale material development to larger collaborative builds and installations.
All work is developed through a low-toxicity, small-batch approach, with sensitivity to material sourcing, process and environmental impact.
Projects often begin with a conversation - shared references, colour palettes or a sense of place.
