Warped and Wasted is a large scale, experimental art installation, made exclusively with 100% waste, existing second hand and biodegradable textiles. As a collaboration between 14 seam collective artists, it’s an ambitious project which highlights the issues surrounding textile waste and care for the environment.

In the exhibition works are not labelled; artists are not identified for the individual works and the materials are not listed. It’s a collaboration. It makes visible our collaborative journey towards sustainability so far – the care, connections, compromises and complexities.

Here you’ll find details about the 14 artists involved – their individual works, the materials used, their personal journeys towards sustainability and their responses to the Warped and Wasted project so far.

NB We are adding to this page in the run up to the opening of Warped and Wasted on Saturday 23 August. For more information about each artist’s work, please come back after that.
