Discovering Layers

A collection of woven fabrics

The project emphasizes understanding and construction of multi layered and multi faced woven fabrics. It involves generating new structural possibilities on a dobby loom and building patterns.

Inspiration

When it comes to layers what can be a better example than nature itself . Nature offers an endless array of layers that can be used to create stunning works of art. Taking this as an inspiration I created a range of following woven fabrics.
