Drive-by Remix (2017) features Nick Cave’s Soundsuits in motion. Colorful textiles spin exuberantly across the screen as the Soundsuits somersault and roll, fall from the sky, bounce on pogo sticks, and dance across an endless white field. Amidst the energetic movement, a figure adorned with a stop sign appears, conveying an underlying sense of urgency in the jubilant expression of freedom.

This piece was made from recycled materials that were formally garments, it includes some cotton shirt, lace, tulle and even a recycled swing tag, all sewn together using dissolvable fabric and free machine stitch, so each stitch is thoughtfully placed and composed. This piece also includes a gorgeous recycled sea blue cotton backing fabric cut to size, placed on a postcard. All pieces are detachable from the card and the backing fabric.
CANAL INFO
The Leeds and Liverpool canal was built  from 1772 to increase industrial  transportation between West Yorkshire and  the Merseyside ports. Limestone, textiles and coal  were  in critical demand between Yorkshire and Lancashire at this time  where trains  were  still only  beginning to happen.  Committees in Bradford and Liverpool formed  and  for a while disputed over their  different respective plans for the route  Following appeasement, the route as proposed via  engineers John Longbotham and James Brindley was built at a cost of  nearly £260, 000  and a length of 109 miles.    The first phase, from Bingley to Shipley  was up and running  by 1774.  By this time,  Brindley had  passed, and Longbotham  had taken over as chief engineer. The  construction from the Liverpool end  reached Wigan in 1781.
The  canal's overall construction spanned  five decades,  delayed further by money and disputes and also the  colonial  war in the late 1700s.  Trade from Yorkshire to  Liverpool was already brisk  by the time construction  finished, including branches - significantly the ones to Bradford and Wigan.  Although both steam and horse drawn  railways  were  available  by 1800,  the  canal  continued to thrive for a century. 
Horse drawn barges  would last impressively until 1960 while industrial  trade  remaining until the  1980s, by which time the bulk of such  work  was being done, quite inevitably by  trains and lorries.
Today, the Leeds and Liverpool canal stretches for 127 miles, crossing the Pennines between the two cities, with additional branches bringing people - and still business - to and from other towns in Yorkshire and Lancashire on its journey. 91 locks are included, notably the notorious 5 Locks at Bingley, which take an apparent 3-4 hours to negotiate.
The towpath is used heavily by both walkers and cyclists on its route, with the Leeds end being notably active especially during commuter hours. At the newly developed Granary Wharf, the canal basin area has been heavily redeveloped in recent years while the new southern entrance to Leeds station also providing additionally quick access to the canal route.

the big boxy green one is my favorite. I keep wool scraps in it, silks in the middle and notions in the top case.

There is just one problem with this picture of what looks like a textile factory, taken in May, 1989 - there are no workers. Can anyone solve the mystery?
