Clothing to contemplate the world in (Gorse), 2024. Still image.
Digital photography, collage, custom printed fabric, custom-made outfit.

This clothing-as-artwork was created as a way to actively contemplate and have conversations about invasive plant species in Victoria. The images of the flowering gorse (Ulex europaeus) were photographed at Bababi Marning Cooper St Grassland reserve in Epping. A place I have visited often to observe the gorse amongst native grasses and flowers.

Concept, photography, fabric creation, Sarah Rudledge
Garment construction, Annie Edney.
