Abstract [en]

This work sets out to explore changeability in woven expressions using optic fibers in an interior context for home environment. The primary motive is to investigate how optic fibers can change the expression of a woven textile through its color and placement in the structure. The work was conducted with a trial and error-method by sketching, weaving samples, etching the optic fibers, and exploring how the fibers changed the expression and properties of the woven textile. Experiments with displaying the textiles in the intended environment were conducted in order to experience the effect of color and expression changeability. With the optic fibers the expressions repurpose weave structures and patterns, connecting them to the craft of weaving. The result is three double woven textiles with two stages each, activated and unactivated. In the activated state, the optic fibers brings new expressions through color and pattern from a white textile, which is the unactivated stage.
