Emma Harris is dedicated to the use of excess materials and costume design for every day. She began working with knitwear and leather two years ago but is expanding into more easily manipulated textiles as they began to explore the integration of historical fashion and cinematic costuming or prosthesis into the @left_____overs project. However, the project began as a means of preserving pieces of Emma’s mother, Beth's, knitwear creations by using scraps from various old projects and swatches from each garment. Each garment is a time capsule of scrap materials; a wearable textile memory of its past forms and users.
