-For Fantastic forgeries-

My starting point was to figure out what I miss in textile. When I went to Première Vision, a textile event I realized that al the textiles have different colours, prints and materials but we don’t have a extra layer, a 3th dimension in fabric. In my work I make that extra dimension. It’s an added value in textile, the fabric will have movement, volume and every time a different shadow.

For “Fantastic forgeries” I created a new woven technique with fabric. We choose an artwork from a exposition to copy this object in your own technique. I use the carpet of Albert Van huffel. The focus was to find a way that I can fold different layers of fabric into each other and that it would stay in the position without sewing. IMG 0038.jpg

For “Tools of the trade” I created a tool that is a heat press itself. With this tool you can press 3 dimension prints in textile. “Tools of the trade” is a starting point for my graduation collection. My final collection is going to be based on the concept of our rich fantasy memories and positive escapism. The stories that we believed as children and fantasy stories that we created in our head are the biggest inspiration.

Tangible computer interface

How can the design of a tangible computer interface help to create an innovative hands on approach for textile print designers?

What inspired me for this project was, the way I make use of my laptop to create digital prints. This is mainly trough a mouse or trackpad, which adjusts the prints in an unnatural way. I wondered what would happen, if somehow the print could really sense touch. And how this print would respond to this. This tool-kit stimulates the relation between the maker and the digital process. It is made out of polyurethane flexible foam and is attractive to touch and play with. Sensors are build in for communication with the digital print. Functions of different hand gestures would be: flex, push, pinch, stroke, pull and so on. This way making a digital print becomes more exciting, more personal and more unique for each designer.
