Electroluminescent wireKnitted light, Fay McCaul
Electroluminescent wire
I have always been excited by the idea of a piece of textiles appearing one way in daylight and then transforming in the dark.
Inspiration has come from Tibetan flags; the way that bright material can look beautiful in an outside environment, and also from unusual forms found in nature.
With the use of lighting technologies and contemporary materials, I aim to push knitting into new realms by creating structures and fabrics that ‘play with light’, providing a unique and magical form of decoration for interior and exterior use.
