Abstract
Work: Weaving Landscapes – Near-sourcing weeds for developing cellulosic fibers and textiles
Weaving Landscapes illustrates a dialogue between land, material science and textile craft for developing sustainable textile pieces. The collaborative research textile design, craft and chemical engineering examines the role of materials and landscapes as co-participants that can influence the shift in perception of textile qualities, aesthetic engagement and making processes by investigating weeds as alternative textile materials.
The information on artistic outputs in the Aalto Research Portal follows the reporting guidelines of Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture. Therefore, each contribution requiring independent artistic activity is reported separately. For full details of the work and its contributors, please refer to information provided by the publisher.
