Students researched a textile pattern within the theme Transformation, which refers to the Sava island (Majdič grove). They based their patterns on photographs of the natural and urban environment of Kranj. Elements were translated into various surface art compositions through hand drawing, its digitization and the use of computer programs.
The techniques and materials used are completely free, and the creative processes include both elements of industrial production and the intimacy of handicrafts. In addition to textile materials, non-textile materials are also included, which complement the textile whole as auxiliary technical or artistic elements. Although based on spatial screens, the resulting textile creations are the result of individual and completely personal approaches to textile design, understanding of space and the feeling of textiles as matter and medium of expression. Textile is presented as a multi-layered medium, which, by being placed in space, comes to life in its qualities of multi-layeredness, transparency, mobility and airiness.
