Irreversible Wars


Trend Story

Irreversible actions to permanently change a state can create an unforgivable and destructive environment. What was once pure and uncontaminated now sits a stained, disfigured or reformed outcome. Whether positive or negative this resulting product is now forced to represent and stand for something it wasn’t naturally designed to.

Distorted fabrics from loose knits to deformed woven structures embody eternal and irreversible change. Print is presented with unstructured bleached stained markings creating correlations of damaged colours and tainted materials.



What can seem a simple, harmless or innocent action, can in result in causing great damage and harm to the environment and everything within it. These actions we cause can take a while to show signs of real damage, however, when the damage is done it can take years to correct or even cause a permanent scar. 

Layers of delicate materials with a damaged and worn effect will be connected together and constructed to create an extremely idealistic, unrealistic and 
impractical pre-aged look.

Spill

Natural mirgations can be forced to change paths or destinations due to pollution. These images show  the damaged caused by the 2010 BP oil spill in the gulf of Mexico. The oil spill caused extensive damage to widelife habitats and subsequently their breeding patterns.

Economic success regularly brings with it environmental damage.

Even though China is one of the world’s largest economies millions of people still rely upon the polluted and undrinkable water. Developing cities over use machinery and chemical based fertilizers, and discard of their wastewater back into lakes, rivers and the sea leaving the majority of Chinas water polluted. Resulting in an estimated 60,000 deaths annually related to water pollution.

Loose knitted structures and deformed woven structures will embody the deterioration and struggling impact pollution has upon, not on Chinas environment but the whole worlds.

Nick Oberthaler


Nick Oberthaler holds a mystery with the associations to what his work is based upon and his inspirations. He encourages the uncertainty and ambiguity of his work allowing the viewer to decide which direction they reflect on.


The delicacy and weakness of paper enables Oberthaler to create interesting and unexpected marks and scars on the papers surface. The paper is often damaged and unalterable. The results are uneven, some work will be sketchy and seam to be working
progress and some, very much finished.

Fabrics will consist of a variety of strengths and structures, soft
flowing, lightweight chiffons and silks will be paired with structured cottons and tight knitted wools.

Garments will be coated in and have drip damage marks from diluted bleach. The bleach will pull out any natural or synthetic dyes and leave behind a unique and beautifully fragile stained material.
