Additional Portfolio Project
My additional portfolio expands upon my primary exploration of light, form and movement by integrating chains within woven textiles. Through creating a series of samples that function as both sculptural objects and functional design elements for light fixtures, this project accentuates the interaction between rigid industrial materials and ethereal woven forms, enhancing their tactile and visual nature. Chains introduce tension, drape and movement to the fabric, creating sculptural and self-supporting qualities. Light interaction allows metallic surfaces to diffuse light, creating shadows, layers and shifting shapes. The weight and tension cause the fabric to hang, stretch and move in unpredictable ways, creating organic curves and dynamic forms that respond to gravity, touch and air.
