Biocarpet / Textile garden Sculpture

My area of ​​interest is biomimicry in textiles, researching plant forms and applying them to carpet design by using a wool felting technique. The aim of the project is to create a relief structure on the carpet that will stimulate the tactile functions of the feet. The raised forms of the surface simultaneously interact with one’s visual and tactile modes of perception. The carpet replaces the natural ground in urban and enclosed areas. One of the main goals of my creative process is to merge natural forms with textile structures in order to create works that have both an aesthetic and functional application. Work process: Wool Felting The main technique I use for making woolen carpet is wet felting. To make wool fibers compact, they are placed on bubble-wrap; the wool is then treated with a soap, after which it is rinsed with cold and warm water. The resulting thermal shock, fuses the fibers together into one, compact surface. The second stage of the process is "needle felting." Here, combed wool is applied to specific areas of the carpet. The wool fibers are fixed and shaped by using a felting needle, and the carpet is subsequently soaped, rinsed and dried.
