This scarf represents the tension between native and invasive species in urban ecosystems. The warp was dyed with native Texas species: pecan husks, oak galls, and Turk's cap leaves. The weft was dyed with invasive species: nandina, tree of heaven, and privet. In places the invasive species have begun encroaching on the warp as well. All dye plants were responsibly gathered from public spaces like parks and parking lots.
