Implications and applications

First Research

My initial project ideas focused on wool, driven by a strong feeling that my textile practice should revolve around this material. With the aim of helping to revive this long-neglected industry, I work locally and on an artisanal scale, positioning myself within an existing, growing community that is reinvesting in wool and recognizing its many benefits.

I realized that for the Fabricademy project, I should not start something from scratch, like 'building a machine,' even though I'm very excited about it. I changed my mind so many times while trying to choose the 'perfect' project. I've come to understand that my project needs to strike a balance between what I already know how to do and what I want to learn.

Concept & Development

As a Fabricademy project choice, I decided to focus on a research topic that had the potential to enhance and nourish my knitting practice, and more broadly, my work as a textile artist and designer.
