The Memory of Trees
There is something beautiful about tree bark, its colour and its texture. Flakey, rough, smooth, scaly - each tree has its distinctive bark signature, created through years of growth as the tree’s wood pushes up against the outer bark.
This limited edition (only 12 pieces made) of textile art wearables is inspired by the evolving bark of trees, and was created in collaboration with You Living.
Each wearable art brooch is carefully hand painted, and embroidered. The marks and stitches on the brooch are a translation of the layers of texture and colour that you will find on tree bark. Each piece is unique, holding the memories of what the tree has experienced over the years.
