Embedded Thread

Justin Telfer explores the narratives embedded in textiles. A constant companion from birth to death, fabric is intricately linked with our daily existence, connecting us to places, identity and moments in time.

Sparks Might Fly challenges us to confront our patterns of consumption and waste.

Justin Telfer weaves together natural and manufactured materials. The works invite us to contemplate the lifespan of materials, biodegradability, and the traces we leave behind. 

By weaving these materials together he creates a powerful visual dialogue that resonates with both the aesthetic and the ethical. The medium is the message – Telfer reminds us the waste we create will remain inextricable from our natural world.

The works prompt the viewer to reflect on the cost of progress and the importance of conscious consumption and embedding sustainability in our daily lives.
