ABOUT

Sustainability, circularity, equity

Becky Earley founded the B.Earley print studio in London in 1995. For thirty years she has been seeking creative ways to reimagine our material world using the medium of discarded objects & clothing

book & prints

The ‘bless the work’ book will be on show in the For Real For Real exhibition (Daadgalerie, Berlin, 15 May - 27 July 2025). Co-written through conversations with Stephen Wilson and Wilson Villaverde. ‘bless the work’ is about the challenges of returning to work after serious illness. The cover features a photo from the making of the Suture Shirt print series which were made using a surgical stitching practice kit. Prints & remade shirts will be on sale later this year. For now, the first edition of the book can only be read by visitors to the exhibition in Berlin.
