Water, Air, Earth, Fire I, and II, III
Leaves, flowers, rusty metals and other locally foraged treasures from the earth are gathered, bundled in cloth and steamed in a process called eco printing.
Eco printing itself creates a story of time and alchemy with the four elements believed to be essential to life—water, air, earth, and fire. The symbology of these elements is playfully embroidered on the eco printed cloth representing the organic nature of this transformation.
