ANXIETY is an explorative work within the textile art field, investigating ways to express emotions through textiles. The aim is to explore ways of combining placed printed motifs and (pattern constructed) three-dimensional (textile) forms with the purpose to visualize the feeling of anxiety. The primary motive is to use an experienced anxiety as a concept to express three stages of the mental condition. Practice based design experiments were executed by using pattern construction as technique for building form, and transfer printing as printing method. Additionally, working in large scale has been the approach in both the process as well as in the end result. A pre-study that was very focused on technique turned into a project equally focused on experimental printing on 3D-forms and the technical part of advanced pattern construction. The results are three textile sculptures made for a spatial context. The findings propose a method of working with pattern construction and prints in an experimental way. The collection suggests an alternative way to work experimentally within the frames of pattern construction by pushing the limits of what you can do in terms of scale, form and print, which can be implemented both in the textile interior and fashion industry as well as the field of textile art.
