If Lost Return to...

A woman with long brown hair wearing a shiny silver trench coat standing on the steps in front of a building with large columns.

A coat is something you put on when you leave home. I wanted to play with the concept leaving home as a young adult. When I was little I remember my coats having a tag saying “If lost return to Erin Landis”.

Now what happens if we get lost in life?

Liner Process

Step-by-step process of creating a printed fabric with large black block letters, including an artist working on a paper pattern, the cut-out letters laid on a fabric, and the fabric printed with the letters on a machine.

Disperse Dye

The disperse dye process involves dispersing fine, water-insoluble dye particles in a bath and applying them to hydrophobic synthetic fibers like polyester at high temperatures, around 115-130°C
