“As I see it you can look upon textile in many ways. For example in imagery, the layers in the photograph that are combined together in one image can be textile. The same goes for videos. So when I think of textile I can see most things falling into the category, depending on how you want to look at it. For me the whole body is a textile, with all its organs and components combined together. And then, you have invisible textile. Like music, the way different tones combined together make a song, that I consider being textile. Or the paths that we choose to take every day, our actions and our routine pattern, That make invisible weaving like a spiders web, the same can be said about atoms and so much more”.
