A Lust for Leather

  • Imogen Gray

A staggering 800,000 tons of leather end up in landfill annually, this leather is unusable due to its shape, size or markings. However, this leather has gone through a lengthy and most likely a unsustainable process starting at the farming of the animal all the way through to the finishing of the material. To not add a further problem of sustainability I felt driven to not let any scraps of leather from local craftsmen go to waste, and in doing so convert them in to new larger sheet of material that went beyond the limitations of leather.
