Materials: Natural fibres coloured with vegetable dyes from kitchen waste and watercolours sewn onto silk.  Drawings and prints have been layered into the work  derived from a Hospital Rooms kitchen compost prints workshop during which we printed with kitchen waste, drew creatures found in compost and planted peas for pea shoots.  The work is mounted on a re-used wooden stretcher. 

Dyes used: carrot leaf (yellow, also modified with copper to make green), beetroot (pale pink), onion skins (orange), avocado stones and skins (pink/brown), red cabbage (purple/blue to bright pink), spirulina (blue).  
Fabrics: silk, cotton (including discarded household textiles), orange peel fabric. 
Stretcher: tulip wood (repurposed stretcher)
