Hand crochet Lace and Repurposed Textile tank top.
 
This garment has a double layer of time. The front has an insert of fine black lace, hand crocheted over many hours with a disciplined slow masonry of the hand. The pattern is designed after traditional Dutch dressing style from Zeeland.
The top is constructed from repurposed fabric that carries its own history. 
The subtle traces of its previous life are preserved as part of the garment's character.
In this piece, the current labor of the crochet meets the older record of the fabric.
It is a garment that reconciles the past and the present, resulting in a durable, wearable archive of time.
