Artist Statement
I have chosen this simple garment shape to showcase my process of using a series of layers of discharging and over dyeing to create a wearable garment that addresses the important role leaves play in photosynthesis – a complex process that the earth depends upon.

Techniques & Materials
Rayon fabric with multiple layers of discharging colour out of the surface and then adding colour back in after each layer of discharge.
