The artist known as Bad Talents presents mixed-media work both inspired by and at odds with fashion, uniquely combining delicately crafted figure drawings with backdrops of recycled textiles.
The female figure has been drawn with graphite on watercolor paper and cut out. She floats dimensionally atop an abstracted landscape collage created with upcycled clothing and secondhand textiles. This serves to articulate the tension between the modern experience of beauty, consumption, and industrialization—and what that means for the future of the environment, global sustainability efforts, and the fashion industry at large.
