‘Rejects Reborn’ is a collection exploring the collision between the extraordinary and the everyday. Using found material, the aim of the collection is to turn 'junk' into something valuable, giving materials another life by translating everyday objects into awe-inspiring textiles through lighting and staging. With a focus on sustainability, the collection largely consists of material sourced from recycle centres around Melbourne. As a designer, I am constantly seeking new ways to combat material waste and consumption in my practice and using recycled material allows me to achieve this.
