At the heart of OCHRE’s practice is wool — a material that serves as both a physical foundation and a source of reflection. Yet wool is a starting point, never an obligatory final destination. In recent years, OCHRE’s collaborations have expanded into the world of embroidery and the many legacies preserved by Armenian communities. OCHRE creates objects for everyday life, guided by a search for more attentive ways of relating to materials, histories and one another.
