This project is an exploration of the ways in which fixing things draws out a refreshed beauty in them. Intrigued by the vast range of items that you can find dumped on street corners and around our city, I delved into the idea of fixing items that can be found in fly tips. I came across some beautiful ways of mending that have since influenced an intricate collection and garment inspired by the deconstruction and repurposing of a pre-owned, torn jacket.
