COVID-19 Tapestries of Live And Hope

This project of creating up cycled and recycled fashion, textiles, packaging, left over building materials INDOORS & OUTDOOR TAPESTRIES is about raising awareness of current waste created by fashion industry as second largest environmental polluter on the planet. TAPESTRIES OF LOVE AND HOPE can be used in so many ways but my main aim is to hopefully, convince shade making companies to create outdoor screens, covers, farming green houses covers, animal shelters, car shades, corporate buildings tapestries walls, schools, parks, plants and trees shelters. I am currently creating and displaying TAPESTRIES around public spaces in Dandenong North, hoping to donate some to Royal Children’s Hospital as well as creating garden beds shades in the COVID -19 Garden of Love and Hope, experimental garden starting to thrive on previously unloved and forgotten land in Dandenong North.
