For this instalment of Pigment Profiles, It’s an absolute pleasure to introduce you to Jessica Jay of Reparation Studio. Jess has a wonderfully unique approach to visible mending, which breathes fresh life into existing garments.

Allie is an Auckland based creative who founded the knitwear brand, Itchy. Her work is carefully crafted from recycled yarn that would have otherwise been discarded, meaning each piece is a unique one off.

Daisy and I connected virtually via Instagram a few years back, but it wasn’t until the end of last year, on my trip to Japan that I had the opportunity to meet and spend the day with this lovely lady.

Born in 1892, Augusta Savage began her interest in sculpture through crafting small figures out of clay sourced from the natural landscape of her hometown of Green Cove Springs, Florida.

It is such a pleasure to be featuring another dear friend of mine who I met a number of years ago after having followed each other’s creative endeavours from afar, despite both living in Auckland.

It is an absolute honour to have my dear friend Ryan Lopes on this first installment of Pigment Profiles, so without further ado, here is the interview.
