Sample Photo Shoot

Tensile knit

Here is a piece that I knitted on the Shima Seiki using nylon monofilament and elastic.

I then dyed it in turmeric.

And then built a wooden frame in which I intend to stretch the knitted construction.

This piece will be photographed for the Sample Catalogue.

DORA KELEMEN

Angel - These paper pieces by Dora Kelemen look as if they have been created from bun cases with holes cut out of the bottom!

Below are images from her Diploma Project - Translucent Puffy Jacket.

Photo Shoot Venue

The venue for our Sample photo shoot is a church.  I wanted a domestic setting for my knitting so I chose this serving hatch that opens up onto a dinky little kitchen.  I am in the process of knitting a piece that will stretch across the serving hatch and back into the kitchen, hopefully you will be able to catch glimpses of the kitchen setting through the knit.

Cloud Nylon
The Jewellery of Nora Fok
22 January 2011 - 20 March 2011
The first ever retrospective exhibition tour by the extraordinary jeweller, textile artist and 3D designer Nora Fok at the Harley Gallery, near Worksop.
Nora Fok’s jewellery is crafted from very fine nylon microfilament, which she knits, knots, plaits and weaves by hand to make jewellery that is inspired by complex mathematics, geometry and the patterns in nature.

UV Sound Wave

This is my latest piece that I have installed in the Project Space today.

The rings are knitted in white fine count yarn and nylon monofilament.

The amazing colour is due to the Ultra-Violet lighting.

Exhale Pavillion

Exhale Pavillion at Art Basel Miami Beach by architects Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem.

Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem Studios came together to build this beautiful work of art constructed of seven miles of reflective and phosphorescent ropes. Designed to interact with its environment, the ropes move with the breeze and even glow depending on the wind speed. Some ropes have sensors at human height so visitors can blow on them to see that section light up!

The design uses both reflective and phosphorescent ropes to create a dynamic and interactive environment that will sway and glow at night.
