Dynamic Folding Knits:: Play, Interact, Explore
2020 (English)Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis [Artistic work]
Abstract [en]

Physical interaction with textiles is generally found through the purpose of the textiles; for clothing, or interior use. We engage not just for the textiles, but primarily for it’s function. Within Dynamic Folding Knits, the purpose of the material is purely interaction focused. To encourage and to entice the visitor to play, and thus creating a new focus to the material. One that focuses on the materiality before the function. Described through practical based research, knitted materials have been explored to investigate and encourage the physical interaction between the viewer and textiles. Folding methods have been developed that increase the tactility of the material, and integrate intricate form. Both these qualities have been shown to increase curiosity to interact and explore the textiles due to the materials tactility. Working within three main categories of folding methods; The Strict Fold, The Soft Fold and An Amalgamation of Folds, the results provide a vast range of folding textiles, through strict geometry set into the structure of the material, to the softer accumulation of fabric that builds and forms. All of these are then offered to visitors to interact with through touch and play, to experience the movement, the textures the folds and the forms.
