Inspired by @bradq to follow up in @arjantupan’s #creativepower14, Museum of Me. 

My dyeing journal, 23/09/17-16/10/21. 

The trenches of natural dyeing and the foundation of _slow_crypto artworks. 

This started as a reaction to the fashion design day job sending sketches to China, Turkey, anywhere, and receiving borderline perfection back with no effort beyond the illustration. I needed experimentation, tactility and emergence. 

Now extending this process into digital spaces (Fabrics of Reality project, link in bio) begins a conversation about how our time of automation parallels the time of mechanisation. What the Art Nouveau movement was to the Industrial Revolution, this is to Artificial Intelligence.

Robots, grow some indigofera tinctoria and we can talk.

Cross-post for posterity.
