When I was looking at how to make cloth more tactile, I remembered old techniques, like Pleating, Controlled Crushing, Slashed Tucks, Flat Pleats . They were names I would have given my children !!!
I Love the language connected to stitch: What about Ravelled Fringed Tucks or Single Pointed Darts and the one which sound most tactile of all':Horizontal Pleats that Gradually Decrease In Depth'.I know I have to start experimenting and sampling and actually handling material, so that i literally get back in touch again with the process.So today I will be looking at disstressing materials. I do have an idea of a piece wich starts as a whole and then through time it changes, and finally diseapears.I have to give it a lot more thought, and that is the old dilemma: How to work intuitively, and how much does one allow the brain to take over !Enough writing !Time to gather materials and start! with burning, pleating ,bashing, rubbing and stabbing !
