‘’Cloth Decoded’’

This work places itself in the field of textile design and jacquard woven textiles. By exploring the relationship between the traditional Swedish bindings simplified overshot and monk’s belt, and computer-generated design tools and digital aesthetics, the primary motive has been to design a woven collection that explores alternative and contemporary expressions of traditional textiles. By challenging traditional properties and their original context, the collection has explored their spatial recognition as experimental decorative textiles. By adapting an experimental design method that forces de-contextualization and manipulation, the outcome of the study is a collection of three woven textiles which all suggest how traditional techniques can be revisited and reworked into contemporary contexts.
