Materials play a big role in the notion/ discussion of sustainability. We need to use more recycled yarns / natural / natural dyes .... But we never talk about how we deal with the fact that these materials will change over time and might fade or decay sooner than new materials by influence of use and nature.
With this work I wanted to use change and process, designed in and as part of the work to rise awereness of its importance towards longevity and the relationship we have with our belongings.
This textile piece raises questions about physical change and decay and how we as humans deal with that. It also questions to the emotional relationships people develop with objects: Incorporating change and encouraging longevity by turning time and memory into tangible elements of the design.
