Creative re-use

The discards of the creative process can be just as interesting as the finished product, maybe more so!

At Spacecraft textile studio in Melbourne, the backing cloth covering the printing table becomes saturated with different elements of each successive design. Rather than simply throw these away, Spacecraft find chance compositions and then sell them as backing cloth "paintings". They also turn the backing cloth into soft cube seating.
