The concept for this collection uses decaying objects found in Australia as a metaphor for the decline of Australian country life. The decline of Australian country life is not new – either as a phenomenon or a concern. ‘Decay Country’ tells a story of crisis and decline in Australia’s environment. The decaying theme leans form to frayed hems, decayed cut-outs and a rustic print which I developed myself to get digitally printed.

We like straight lines because of a fundamental property of the universe- the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Intertwining the natural world with the man-made, this collection features shapes derived from the straight lines both humans and nature have created. ‘Intertwined’ taps into the idea of slowing down fashion to create a world where we can live alongside nature as if we are one “straight line”.
