It weighs more than the entire Earth
I have drawn influences from Christian mysticism to create a dialog between religion and craft. It aims to create an adornment that reflects the desire to blur the boundaries between the human and the divine. The material is effect-dyed by hand. The patterns are woven on a digital hand loom.
Jury motivation
Historical and futuristic. An exploration of textiles in sacred spaces with an effect-dyed warp to symbolize the dissolution of the self into something greater. Inspired by medieval textiles, the patterns are hand-woven in olive damask on a digitized loom. It creates a dialogue between religion and craftsmanship, blurring the lines between the human and the divine. Bold color choice and exciting assembly.
