A study in red on grey.
Five hand-beaded beetles define this individually sourced Penman denim. Four are placed across the front, their red forms held in deliberate contrast against the grey ground.
At the back, a fifth beetle stands alone,the final mark within the composition.
Each form is worked individually by hand.
Look closely and the differences begin to emerge: small variations in line, spacing and bead placement that belong to the making of this particular piece.
It is repetition without exact replication—the beetle returning from one placement to the next, while the hand ensures that no two are entirely the same.
