Tomato Skies is a wearable art collection rooted in four generations of family sewing and the agricultural memory of my grandparents’ farm, where both tomatoes and heirloom techniques were grown with patience and care. Grounded in tacit and embodied knowledge theory, the collection uses English smocking, scrap appliqué, and botanical surface design to explore how craft knowledge is passed not through instruction, but through the hands, the body, and generational practice. It is as much an act of preservation as it is of design.
