Artist Spotlight: Miranda Bennett

 How did you start doing art and what is your medium?

I began working in my medium, apparel design, at a very young age. By the time I was a teenager, I was constructing the majority of the apparel that I wore. I began in a very untrained, intuitive way, and later studied formally at design school.

 How does reuse play a part in your art?

We are very mindful of reuse at Miranda Bennett Studio. We have a full-time staff member dedicated to creating new products from the various forms of textile waste that we generate with our apparel production. In addition to that, we compost our food and dye waste, and recycle as much as possible.

What compels you to donate to ACR?

I love knowing that others will find new and innovative uses for our naturally dyed textile remnants beyond anything that I can imagine! We love to see what the ACR community makes, please tag us on social media with #mbszerowaste so we can discover your work!
