The core objective of my complementary project is to build on the technical and visual framework developed in my main jacquard-based work. Exploring shaded twills in greater depth, creating subtle gradients of mercerised cottons and silks on the dobby loom, focusing more on the surface pattern and decorative quality of the cloth, but maintaining a strong connection to the technical precision on my main project. This investigation reimagines those same techniques through the lens of dobby weaving, depicting the blend of yarns, experimenting with the scale and rotation of twills, creating ombre effects in bold, contrasting blocks. The resulting fabrics are designed for interior applications, including lightweight woven panels, room dividers, and curtains that soften natural light while maintaining a sense of privacy.
