There is a lot of waste in the agri-food industry, including fish skin that is not reused.
Yet the fish can be tanned and become a soft and aesthetic leather, however this tanning is complex to achieve and can be very polluting.
As a designer, I wanted to create a collection of patterns for clothing from the skin itself.
The skin is dried several months in salt, and then printed on paper, and then etched on fabrics.
Print, engrave, are techniques that can bring a memory to an object. The skin was so far worthless, without memory.
