Anthropological Collection
A contemporary working of mythical fetish figures, talisman and amulet charms, using resources from my daily life and found objects along the towpath.
Media: Recycled and found objects, animal bones, naturally dyed and eco-printed silk and cotton, plant stems and roots
Hand dyed all natural colour; red onions skins, rusted metal, indigo and eucalyptus
The Curiosity Project has inspired a continuation of the ARTEFACT project, which led to the creation of a series of fetish figures and talisman charms to accompany a shaman’s jacket and mantle, reflecting parts of my identity.
