Malleable Textiles

Textiles, Metal Wire

 

For this project I was inspired by the sails of the boats, large pieces of fabric that change depending on the wind.

 

I experimented with creating a pieces of textiles that would be easily malleable by hand. I explored knitting and crochet different fabric together, and then I found using metal wire it can be malleable and it would keep the shape. I then explored weaving the metal wire, and it was effective. The wire made the shapes be malleable and strong.
