During a workshop with renowned collage and mosaic artist, David Philpot. I began to explore utilizing found objects within my textile work. Within this project, I wrapped a polyester silk organza around found objects and hand-tied them. Once the objects were tied I placed them into a pressure cooker to utilize steam and heat to form the fabric around the objects. The objects left color residue and melted matter in the fabric. This project is projection of the Law of Conservation of Mass, in which matter can be altered, but never created or destroyed. It’s a gentle reminder of the waste streams of over production of products.
