#textiledesign

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Hello Mastodon,
Here's my #introduction post.

Former #graphicdesigner and #webdeveloper at #OpenSourcePublishing, I gradually turned my practice to #textiledesign. Still exploring free and open source software, programming but in relation to many textile techniques.

My main practice is #knitting, #machineknitting and #visiblemending. But I love to explore any #fiberarts related #technique.

In 2020, I joined the #textile #fablab @GreenFabric in #brussels where I like to build / #hack #machines for textile.

In 2024, I joined the #Fabricademy programme ( #textile and #technology) where I made digitally knitted garments to bypass #CCTV #facerecognition.
I am now a Fabricademy instructor!

A little picture as intro: My Mother was a Computer. Title borrowed from media theoretician Katherine N. Hayles. This is the opening piece of a series of knitted portraits of women who played a major role in the history of computing.

I'm super happy to find back my old family here in Lurk/Mastodon (you know who you are :) ). 💜

I've been working on more fabric designs - this group has shapes and colours from my abstracted forest fire paintings. I posted them to Spoonflower (spoonflower.com/profiles/kamin) for individual orders while I wait on getting in a bulk order for my own project. I'm thinking linen. I just want to stare at vibrant colours after all this interminal snow.
