Design Description
This design is inspired by all things agricultural. Drawing from old materials discarded on the team’s 3 farms, this design hopes to spread the word that women are underrepresented in agriculture & that farming isn’t all slurry, silage & road frontage! The top consists of 25 old wellies which were punched out using a circle puncher before being strung with twine. The structure of the skirt was made using airline pipe& chicken wire, the flowers were made using 200 milkfilter socks. The backpiece is made from airline pipe wrapped in fencing wire, strung with meal bag string & edged with milkfilter
cones.
