Satin Overlap is the result of a project that Isabel Fletcher carried out with Freed of London. The project was led by the sourcing of production offcuts from the ballet and theatrical shoe manufacturer, Freed of London. When visiting the workshop for the first time, Isabel was struck by the contrast between the well-worn nature of the workshop and the gleaming beauty of the finished dance shoes. The maker of each component at Freed has perfected their craft - their bodies adapted and moulded to the rhythm of the repetitive processes. The offcuts themselves retain traces of this craft, each leftover scrap contributing to a silhouette of the making process.
