This project in textile design is exploring the interpretation of digital photos into jacquard woven textiles, focusing on how texture and colour can alter the perception of the underlying image. The defamiliarization of everyday scenes through the use of material, texture and colour invites the viewer to engage and decipher the image. A series of four pictorial weaves makes it possible to explore the interaction of photograph and textile in four different ways: Piece one has a smooth reflective surface and low contrast, which creates a dream-like effect over a breakfast table. Piece two is an oversaturated and distorted colour version of a domestic scene, mimicking how phone camera software sometimes treats images. Piece three shows objects and food on a table but adds fluffy and shiny textures, which has a defamiliarizing effect and highlights the textile material. Piece four focuses on material and texures, which abstracts the image even further. During the design process a sketching method was developed to layer the colours of the woven piece onto the photograph. This includes weaving a colour palette, scanning it and creating swatch libraries for Adobe Photoshop that are placed in the photograph and makes it possible to sketch digitally and minimize material sampling. The resulting textiles show how a photograph of an everyday scene can be distorted through weaving and textiles, creating tension between the “normal scene” and its abstraction. This project invites to discuss the relationship to digital photography and demonstrates a way of bringing it back from the cloud storages to the material world. The interpretation into woven textiles gives a value and context.
