My drive for this project was to reconnect with nature as a textile practitioner, as I felt disconnected. I foraged and grew plants, observed and detailed plants, experimented and developed natural dyes on wool, and wove them together to celebrate all aspects of colour and material fully. Through this, I studied, tested, learnt, and embraced the processes to feel more grounded and connected with my chosen materials and nature.
