How do we filter [and grow new]?

What methods do you use to select what passes through?

Designed in Nedgraphics, woven on AVL Dobby loom.
Cotton / wool / silk  [+ active yarns].



FILTRATION < 


A microscopic approach, Module(s) is woven with an overtwisted yarn in one direction to give in a rippling texture. To “ripple” the density and imagery of the fabric, tension was pulled and stacked as threads were being woven on the loom.

Cotton + crepe cotton.

space between layers = lights off





layers pressed together = lights on





Swatches explore interactions between magnets and metals / textile as potential energy





Permeate is a double cloth textile designed to light up when textile is pressed on or collapsed. Magnets in one layer effect reed switches in another, closing the circuit by a slight change in affinity. The magnets and reed switches do not need to actually touch but just move closer together (approximately 4 cm). Lights turn off when the distance exceeds this measurement.
