Image Statement: I harvested plants from my garden (or kitchen in the case of the onion skins and carrot tops) and dyed the warps and wefts with these. I then overdyed the mercerized cotton and half the linen with indigo to create a distressed verdigris effect. Only Remember Me is from the poem Remember Me by Christina Rossetti and could be the last words our endangered species silently scream before they disappear forever.
