RECOLLECTION The action or power of recalling to mind:
Tyler Webb of Kentucky Boy Tyler creates intricately worked one-of-a-kind garments from found materials. Born and raised in Kentucky, Webb developed an appreciation for the unstudied and sentimental qualities of Appalachian folk art. He applies a similarly intuitive approach to his own designs drawn from experiments with traditional quilting and mending techniques. Webb released his first collection in 2021. Titled "Piecemeal," it included garments constructed from fabrics made by Webb from layered scraps of material hand-quilted and stitched together. He created this ensemble from pieces of cut denim overstitched in a grid pattern.
