Industrial Offcuts: Freed of London
This project was led by the sourcing of production offcuts from the ballet and theatrical shoe manufacturer, Freed of London. Through focused material exploration - combining stitch with varied offcuts, I created ambiguous sculptural works that bring to light the skill of the maker through what is left behind. The abstract nature of the work allows the mind to wonder and imagine beyond the now normalised systems of take, make, waste.
