An individually sourced Zara T.R.F denim in mid wash blue, selected for its 100% cotton composition and given another life through Akire beadwork.
Across the front, six Akire beetles are worked by hand, three on either side.
Green, dark blue, yellow and black beads are mixed within the individual beetle forms, allowing colour to move through the composition rather than assigning each beetle a single tone.
The familiar blue denim becomes the ground for this study in colour and repetition.
Each beetle follows the same recurring Akire form, yet the hand and changing arrangement of beads ensure that no two are expressed in quite the same way.
At the back pocket, a single green beetle with touches of white completes the work,a quieter expression set apart from the mixed colours at the front.
