Coral reefs
The project coral reefs has been developed during my seventh semster while I took part on a three month European Textil Trainees project (ETT) in Tilburg, Netherlands, and on the Comon project in Como, Italy. I did finish it at the university Burg Giebichenstein in Halle/Saale.
So the collection coral reefs is based on two different textil methods.
The work (in the beginning) are knittings which were made in cooperation with the product developer Huub Walther during my job at the „Ausax Textilmuseum Tilburg“, Netherlands. Although I focused on the technical developments and experimented on the joining techniques with different materail and knitting, I did orient on my inspiration motiv – the nature.
The sensual and sensitiv ocean world with all its different kinds of life and shapes and its impressiv micro structures is like magic which touched me. So the second part of the collection coral reefs developed at the university Burg Giebichenstein in Halle: textils from plain arificial fibres which were made in a symbiosis of transfer printing, the method of shibori and the thermal fixing and it is a result from playing with shapes and colours as well.
In the end I had fine textil fabrics which reflected the compounds of an ocean.
