Transforming patterns, 2017

Polyamide monofilament, elastic, cotton, polyamide.

This experimental textile was designed to explore the effects of different ratios of warp and weft, scale, and layer transposition on the surface patterning and three-dimensional form of a single textile. Textural variations affecting the appearance of the patterning and the three-dimensional form were created by varying the proportions of warp and weft between the front and back layers in certain areas.The result is a textile with surfaces which both undulate smoothly, and buckle. In some areas, the weft strains to cover the warp, while in others it escapes completely, turning in loops and spirals before re-entering the woven structure. This is an expression due entirely to the behaviour of the textile as a complex system: the textile making itself.
