concept
A group of women who are taking over from mother nature because she can no longer restore her environment to its natural equilibrium. These women enter nature at the time of a forest fire. In a manner of haphazard endeavour, they attempt to repair their surroundings. Through darning, protecting, mending and harvesting, effectiveness become their demise. The collection lies within this cyclical entropic world, between the womb of mother nature and the machine of modern man.
