Wilson’s Bapestas Repair/Rubbings


An exploration in actions of loving and repair
2022
Conte crayon on tracing paper
Shoe glue and Dremel carvings


Wilson’s bapestas, worn for many years, completely rubbed through, classic bapesta marks no longer remain (left rubbing)

Using glue flooding techniques and dremel carving, I returned the sole patterns to theshoes and made them wearable again.
