Re-considering the unwanted warranted an
investigation into the environmental waste created by the textile industry. The
impact of pollution from insecticides, pesticides and the wastewater from
chemical dyeing is shocking.
The Pearl river in Xintang, China is now
indigo from the waste water created from producing indigo jeans and can be seen
from space. A massive 25% of the world’s
insecticides are used on cotton farming, causing serious health implications
for workers.
My work aims to reflect what can be achieved
within the textile industry without the need for harmful dye’s, chemical
printing and production of polluted waste. The purity of natural dyes combined
with unwanted rusted items creates harmony not harm within our fragile planet.
