The work of FIT alumni and faculty takes center stage in the exhibition Crafting Change. Organized by the Textile/Surface Design Department in conjunction with New York Textile Month, the works featured in Crafting Change use long-established techniques in a modern context to highlight the potential for promoting connection, community, and wellbeing through creating textiles. These works explore the potential for art to promote connection with ourselves and others and how the tactility of textiles can provide balance to time spent in the digital realm.

Strega Nona Kitchen Collection

2023

Textile/Surface Design

I intended these samples to be applied to the decorative kitchen market, not only because this collection is built upon a pasta theme. The low EPI count for these weave samples allowed for a more open structure to the weave. I noticed that this firmer, open knit was common in placemats and table runners (Stripe #2). I expanded this further to potholders because some of my designs were thicker in texture, and would be less suitable for balancing a plate and better suited for a barrier between surfaces (Stripe #1). I also thought these designs could be applied to kitchen towels. Many that I researched were woven with compact designs of stripe or allover textures (Allover #1, Allover #2). I also noticed that in reference to tableware, the majority of placemats and table runners were either cotton or linen, while dishcloths and potholders were usually cotton. I tried my best to maintain cotton as the majority content of my yarns (though some wool was used for color necessity). In general, many of the decorative kitchen designs were smaller and compact, and had a sturdier, less stretchy quality to them, which is what I strove towards while assembling my collection.

The title of my collection is Apocalypse Dreams, named after my favorite Tame Impala song that I had the privilege of seeing performed live. Tame Impala is an artist known for producing innovative sounds that evoke psychedelic emotions. Their live performances display an intense combination of sounds and visuals, a transformative experience that I strived to communicate in this collection.

Le Jardin

Impressionism is a movement in which artists emphasized the naturalistic rendering of light and color to convey the feel of a scene while using visibly thin and softer brush strokes; with landscapes being the subject of most paintings. Water Lilies is a series, whom Claude Monet, a French Impressionist, dedicated the last 30 years of his life to. The series is depicted of Monet’s garden in Giverny in which he was challenged to capture the altering appearance of reflection, light, and color at every moment. Monet’s technique consisted of loose and fluid brush strokes, causing the colors to blend optically; creating the illusion of movement. He used color to capture the essence of his subject, rather than the actual colors of the objects depicted. In this series, he focused mainly on cool tones like blues, and greens to give off a soothing and relaxing mood, as he felt when he was in his garden.
