Transformative and versatile qualities of woven structures are essential to contemporary material innovation. While typically flat, 3D weaves provide unique functional and aesthetic qualities through the interaction of substance, structure, and form, with the ability to enhance spatial experiences by incorporating textiles as architectural elements. Despite this potential, multilayered weaving remains underdeveloped due to the limited size of standard looms and the inaccessibility of 3D weaving technologies.

Looming Matter is a craft-based project that explores material transformation through complex woven structures by developing a tool for large-scale multilayered weaving. The densely woven, voluminous materials form self-supporting objects with varied properties. Their behaviour is unique to multilayered weaving and offers distinct sculptural and sensorial experiences.
