Textiles

This project investigates if and how design processes can take advantage of the integration of natural forces in their creation. My inspiration is my homeland in East Frisia with its rough weather conditions. The patterns on these textiles are created by using dye pigments, but instead of dissolving them in water, I let them blow over the wet fabrics. I literally use natural wind to create these unique pieces. This leads to patterns that capture the movement of the wind but it also creates dissolving structures through the wetness of the fabrics.
