The color of dried rooibos tea (redbush tea) reflects Africa to me. The often barren soil, the landscape, thousand shades of brown, ocher, beige, yellow .... In nature thousands of years past are conserved – there you have to expose yourself to the roughness, the savageness, the heat, the odors, wind and rain. To experience this environment intuitively leads to the exhibited work.
The dress is made of Rooibos teabags. Rooibos is the national tea of South Africa. A longer stay in South Africa inspired me to use these everyday natural resist dye products.
Each of the over 500 teabags has actually been drunk. I worked by hand and machine using different techniques.
The dress is delicate, but absolutely wearable.
This creation is a symbol of the necessity to use our resources wisely and recycle where we can, thereby protecting our ecosystem as much as possible.
