DARK RIVER VS LIGHT RIVER
For the current project that I’m working on I explored the dark river and the light river of the womb. It’s a highly personal project, where I translate my personal development into physical textiles. I have delved into the process of raw wool fibre from nearby farms, naturally dyeing and spinning, combining the protein fibre with algae leather to create a workable textile. The project is ongoing.
The following video shows my process. I like to work intuitively as the project is about the womb - intuitive voice and energetic center of creativity. To reduce waste, I like to work on the bodyshape using molds that I make of my friends’ bodies. By combining protein fibres and Algea leather, I try to develop a unique and biodegradable textile that is suitable to be worn on the body as well as aesthetically pleasing.
