Loop Totems 2016
A knitted spatial investigation of soft loops as monumental sculptures. The spatial textiles are made to resemble majestic marble surfaces, pillars or totems - powerful and regal structures. Yet with softening, loose, doughy and elasticated knits, a sensitive and questionable experience of touch and comfort is created.

Magnify and Swell
How circular knitting with elasticated materials can magnify and create swelling of otherwise tiny loops in pattern, particularly when washed.
Stretch
Exploration of loop forms in lurex and lycra yarns of high elasticity into how material choice can manipulate scale in stretching and shrinking.
