RATIONALE:
Last year I based my final major project on up cycled wood and metal as a form of ‘textiles’. That gave me a lot to think about traditional fabrics and new materials. I have been question myself: what is a fabric? Which material can we use as a fabric and which do not? I find out that fabric can be anything,depends only how we use it. Does not has to be transformed into a thread or yearn to create fabric. This year I want to find out practical side in this aspect and what can be the future. Traditional fabrics at domestic environment get dirty very quickly and they duration is limited. New designer should consider others forms which last longer and are more functional. Wood is well known as a hard and solid source for building constructions and furnitures. In textiles industry wood was known as a tool for stamp printing or part of machines. In our days new designers often using a traditional sources in a new way for textiles like Elisa Strozyk. She is working with thin pices of wood on textiles creating cloth.
