The artists combine to express the synergy between their individual methods, each demonstrating a connection with place and the environment. Wall works, artist’s books and 3D objects reflect the colours and atmosphere of the landscape.

Jo  says, Eco dyeing has led us into a whole new form of expression where more environmentally sustainable methods of image making result in a magic reaction between cloth and plant or plant and paper. Subtle colours, earthy tones and plant shapes become the inspiration for further explorations through print, stitch and drawing.
