ESSAYS
I did a masters in 2011-14 and wrote three essays as part of my research into weaving’s place in art and science. You are welcome to use these to inform your own practice, but I would appreciate you letting me know if you write a piece for your own studies/article/book and acknowledging the source of your research. Thank you.
2012 Form, function, philosophy: what is the role of textiles in a post-industrial world?
2013 Textile Art – a tactile interface in a digital world
An additional and useful resource is the Annotated Bibliography which includes all the research I did over the three year period into my essays and my own practice.
