During my research, I discovered the work of Bauhaus textile artists and connected deeply with Anni Albers’ weaving practice. In contrast Gunta Stölzl’s bold use of color, Albers’ calm, rhythmic designs emphasized simplicity and repetition, which matched my own design style.
In my past work in automotive textile design, I learned to navigate strict regulations and limited color options. This experience made me sensitive to how materials behave, the importance of visual clarity, and how to implement practical designs. Consequently, I was particularly impressed by Albers’ creative ability to manipulate colors and structures.
This inspiration led me to the idea of creating woven fabric using similar geometric shapes. In my weave design, I focused on the fundamental principles of design by incorporating three primary colors along with black and ivory. The material selected was solely wool, chosen with consideration for durability and recyclability. For the techniques, I aimed to emphasize the effects of hand weaving using plain structures, while integrating two different types of yarn in the same line, similar to tapestry. This approach cannot be replicated on a jacquard weaving machine.
