Description

Constructed from a found lightweight synthetic slip with lace trim, this garment was transformed through the application of a hand-cut appliqué assembled from post-consumer textile scraps. Each letter of the graphic was stitched directly to the surface using visible contrast thread. The gradient coloration was achieved through citric acid and sun exposure, producing subtle tonal variation within the deep red motif.

The back features a conceptual artist label, encased in a hand-sealed plastic patch made from a reused T-shirt bag.
