Field of Jeans [2011]

Helen Storey, Catalytic Clothing, UK. [www.catalytic-clothing.org]

This art intervention is part of a pioneering research project, Catalytic Clothing which seeks to explore and introduce the idea that everyday clothing and textiles can purify the air we breathe. They are potentially the world’s first air purifying jeans. It is the brainchild of artist / designer Helen Storey and chemist Tony Ryan – people from very different worlds whose minds have come together over recent years in highly successful art/science collaborations.
