Tactility Textile
Natural landscapes from China were my original inspiration, in which I captured the contrast of textures and colours. Based on these landscapes, tactility has become the main focus in my final year. I am trying to create the interaction between textiles and audiences using various textures and movements.Â

During the MA, I have focused on three-dimensional, self-supporting knitted structures. I am constantly trying to explore and bring new experiences to  knitting. Therefore, I have combined different materials with knit structures to create three-dimensional shapes to produce solid structures and showcase the properties and relationships of materials and textiles.
