Threaded Memory
Discarded chairs are cocooned in recycled yarn, preserving them as vessels of memory. This work questions what we keep, what we throw away, and how care can be stitched into the everyday.
Opera Bound
Using waste yarn to wrap broken chair frames, this piece echoes the theatricality of the Royal Opera House. The act of binding turns discarded furniture into a stage for sustainable narratives.
Silent Audience
A cluster of yarn-bound chairs stands like absent spectators. Once discarded, these seats are reimagined as ghostly presences, reminding us of overproduction, consumption, and forgotten voices.
Knotting Histories
Each knot marks a gesture of repair. By recycling chairs and enveloping them in yarn, this piece maps sustainability through time, craft, and storytelling.
Entangled Voices
Like the layered harmonies of an opera chorus, threads of reclaimed fibre entwine around a chair, symbolising the interconnectedness of voices, histories, and ecologies.
Reclothed Chair
Furniture once destined for landfill is given a new skin of recycled yarns. The act of “reclothing” transforms waste into a second life, highlighting slow fashion principles in sculptural form.
Binding Silence
Discarded chairs are restrained by layers of yarn, creating tension between freedom and preservation. The work examines the silence of objects discarded and the possibility of renewal.
Echo Seat
Wrapped in threads, the chair resonates like an echo chamber of past uses. It honours forgotten objects while proposing a circular design future.
The Staged Thread
Evoking stage curtains and opera sets, this recycled chair draped in threads transforms furniture into spectacle, questioning the boundary between performance and sustainability.
Sustain / Restrain
This duality piece highlights how binding protects discarded objects while also restricting them. The use of waste yarn reflects both fragility and resilience in sustainable practice.
