A gasp of release, a sense of nakedness, as material drops and settles, creating a landscape of folds, wrinkles and creases against new ground.

As modes of consumerism disintegrate, Not a Stitch invites an alternate view of merchandise, needling the recognisable and exploring a shift to the unfamiliar. In this collaborative project for Pervilion, surfaces are perforated with knots, loopholes and loose ends, negating the impeccable definition on the reverse.
