About
I'm a textile designer graduted from GSA. My specialism is weaving, and I have a passion for exploring new materials to create innovative textiles.
The inspiration for my graduation design project comes from scenes formed by objects in everyday life that are often neglected. These things have a sculptural quality which catch my attention. In this project, I first used silicone as a new textile material, which can be easily shaped into any desired form to trace the texture. I also obtained the patterns and created some drawings after calculating the measurements to make silicone into certain shapes. It is also a tactile textile project due to the wonderful tactile sensation provided by my self-made silicone weft shapes. As I am inspired by various corners of life scenes, I wanted my fabrics to be used in these places to make inconspicuous corners visible, such as armrests, handles, lamps, seat backs, etc. And these usage will force people to touch these textile.
