Knitted Stool

Knitted Stool was presented at the Linen Biennale Northern Ireland (Lisburn, UK, October 3-4, 2018). The presentation featured an ongoing investigation into the forms and fabrication of domestic objects ultimately destined for landfill, and contributed to a broader narrative of inquiry into ideal sustainable practices that acknowledge and respond to local and global material ecologies.

The approach champions the value of adopting an active, experimental mindset, and contributed to the third theme of the Linen Biennale: “To communicate the value of textiles, eroded through globalization, through the recognition of linen/flax fibre as a relatively sustainable material. And to emphasize the ethos of a ‘slower’ more responsible approach to the development of value-added product to include new flax fibre applications such as composite materials.”
