Description
Summary:This Ecological Project explores materials, textiles, design tools and processes using sustainable methods and principles.  My resulting products are recyclable and innovative.   Newspaper has its challenges as a textile but has variety in color. It can be twisted, woven or knitted into fabric and is stronger than you would imagine. While these methods can’t yet replace everything we need, eco-friendly artifacts can serve as a reminder for a new way of thinking. My work is guided by the conviction that if we wait until Tomorrow to use sustainable materials and methods, it will be too late to restore the planet.
