boy names is a collaboration between painter Ray Borchers and designer Collin Bunting. Using traditional ruler and paper design, block printing, hand painting, embroidery, applique' and dyeing we make work that is the exact opposite of fast fashion. We are inspired by the contrast between process and result. Our process consists of using time-tested slow techniques with the intention of creating pieces that last a lifetime; yet the results seem to pop and flash and surprise. Synthetic paint and ink on natural fibers anchors themes of curiosity, play, nostalgia, tragedy, humor and darkness -creating plush tension within the imagination that is prevalent in this collection.
