Vegetal Skins: Knitted Rhythms of a perishable Boras Landscape

Abstract [en]

The project Vegetal Skins presents a practice-led research into inlay knitting with locally sourced plant materials. As a reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic, this research investigates nature as a material supplier. The knitted findings carry out the transient beauty of a continuously changing landscape, emphasizing cycles of growth and decay that are inherent in nature. Through closely listening to the streams of the natural environment, the collection of Vegetal Skins has come to life. Integrating the method of Tinkering with Materials has resulted in intuitively created rhythms of nature wherein the material determined the design result. Each piece represents the discovery point of its raw material, revealing the plant’s identity and showing the weather circumstances of the period wherein the plant grew and was harvested. The project aims to stimulate a closer bond between human beings and nature by placing the raw materials on a statue to admire.
