Distressed Beauty
This series explores the transformation of painted silk chiffon, silk organza, and velvet through processes of layering, manipulation, fusing, stitching and distressing. By combining sheer and opaque surfaces, subtle colours shift and merge, creating new textiles with nuanced depth. These works are experimental in nature — investigations into how materials can be re-formed to reveal unexpected textures, tones, and possibilities.
