‘Fair Trade: Material Matters’ was initiated in 2007 by artist Jane Frost and shows contemporary self-portraits, drawn by other artists, collected and stitched in woad dyed yarn onto recycled blankets. See www.fairtradematerialmatters.org for the online work and community of artists. Fair Trade: Material Matters is a fair trade exchange within the art community, a deliberate comment on financial value placed on work, often not to benefit artists. Hand stitched, recycled blankets are the material matter creating the physical work, exploring the process of making in the context of sustainable actions and relationships.
