Crystal Fabric: Grow, Light, and Nature
Introducing crystal growth to textile materials, a new dimension of striking and unusual textures and patterns can be created, transforming fabrics into three-dimensional, sculptural forms. Through the interplay of natural, organic crystal shapes with the structured, manufactured forms of textiles, a dialogue is formed between two seemingly disparate materials, inviting the viewer to contemplate the beauty of natural forms and the relationship between science and art. A unique approach to traditional embellishment is to use processes like crystallization to enrich the base fabric, rather than simply attaching external elements. This approach eliminates the sense of separateness between the embellishment and the fabric, allowing the decorative elements to become an intuitive and organic part of the design.
