It all starts in the dirt.
For a thousand years, all textiles were dyed and decorated using plants, pigments, or insect dyes. My work celebrates this tradition while pushing the color palette to connect to the places where the color is sourced.
This is an ongoing research project that will document the dye plants I use and the many places that I grow and/or harvest them.
