Polypercentage is a poster campaign that I developed for my final major project at Leeds Arts University. I wanted to explore this topic as I was shocked to discover that synthetic fabrics, like polyester contribute massively to plastic pollution. These fabrics shed tiny fibers when washed which eventually end up in our water and food.

​

Through trial and error, I experimented with screen printing on various materials, including paper and polyester. The result is a triptych piece on organic cotton, with recycling instructions on the back. I wanted the tryptich to be on fabric so that it could represent clothing.
