Ginkgo
GINKGO is a hand crochet top inter-woven with Ginkgo leaves and a Ginkgo leaf dyed skirt. It focuses on the somber feeling of leaves falling and seasons changing. As the leaves age, the top will change color and slowly fall apart. The perishable nature of leaves give away to a somber and reflective effect.
Ginkgo Dye
Collected from Ginkgo trees on University of Wisconsin-Madison’s campus, leaves were used to create a natural dye. The 100% natural silk fabric was dyed with the Ginkgo resulting in a tan-peach color.
