Recover, recycle, rework - Rescate!
It was really inspiring to spend this afternoon at the home of Maria McCormick, the designer behind Rescate, and whose button necklaces will be in my handpicked collection. As well as the necklaces, which are made from discarded buttons which she collects from a factory owned by her father, Maria has endless other projects on the go.
Maria is like a squirrel, hiding away all sorts of treasures in her house, ready to take out and re-use at some point. She has boxes and baskets and empty drinks bottles now filled with things she's found on the street, or no longer has use for (like the tops of drinks bottles) and a scraps of fabrics and materials from a friend's shoe business and another factory owned by her father.
As we sipped jasmine green tea and she pulled out bags, and placemats and hair accessories, all projects she's experimenting with at the moment. I had an idea to have her make a chandelier using buttons, so with a friend she's known since she was five years old and who now reworks old lamps, they're playing with ideas and making a sample. I saw the work in progress today and I absolutely love how it's turning out. Watch this space!
Sadly I forgot to take my camera as I'd love to have snapped her in situ, surrounded by memorabilia, collectibles, street junk, art books, musical instruments, inumerable containers and big, leafy green plants. Maria represents so much of what I love about this country: the creativity, the resourcefulness, the courage of Argentines to experiment and try and make their own way doing the things they enjoy the most.
