Indy Heath is a Naarm/Melbourne based textile designer and biomaterial artist. Their material library fluidly spans through living and lived textiles with their use of biomaterials, natural dyes and pre-existing materials. Working with natural pigments extracted from rust and various plant matter, Indy investigates the feeling of loving and treasuring a textile, and ponders the unknown memories linked to the textile. Indy also cultivates, gathers, and crafts biomaterials, utilising seaweed, food waste, and bacterial leather to investigate the future of sustainable materials. Indy's practice extends beyond textiles into the realm of light and form, creating sculptural lamps that highlight the relationship between materials and atmosphere. As someone who experiences heightened sensitivity to light and sound, Indy's creative process is deeply influenced by these sensory perceptions, driving them to design works that are both mindful and immersive. By blending pre-existing textiles with innovative biomaterials, their work engages multiple senses, inviting the viewer to experience and connect through touch, sight, sound, and scent.
