Fascinated by the result, I continued to explore digital 3D ideas with the help of Hannes Krieger, a visual effects artist. he trANSLATED mY dESIGN iDEAS USING THE sOFTWARE hOUDINI (video). I translated the rESULT in Adobe Photoshop and finalized them into artwork producible on dIFFERENT industrial KNitting machines.
The exhibited pieces and visuals allow viewers to follow the process from (textile) inspiration to digital creation and transformation back to tangible surfaces, Learning about Weaving and Knitting Techniques and uNDERSTANDING different MaTERIAL & yARN gaUGE.
