My Final Major Project extends from my previous ‘Aestival Reflections’ journey and further explores natures biophilia through the transient qualities of light, colour, and material. Using knit structure to reflect architecture and sheen like yarns to communicate shifting light into sensory knitted surfaces. By manipulating yarn, colour, and knitted structure my work becomes a method of rendering the transient and sensorial qualities of light within our interior spaces. Curating a subtle and serene connection to nature becomes a part of immersing myself within my practice. Repetition in pattern becomes meditative and choice of colour is always shifting, reflecting natures ephemeral calming qualities. My work entertains a more interpretive approach, where light, material, and making processes collectively blend to curate a space that encourages contemplation, sensory awareness, and an embodied connection to nature through lighting. With the use of monofilament, lustrous mercerised cotton, and lurex yarns. I knitted and designed to a meditative approach on the Dubied, Shima and Domestic machines to convey the sereneness of light through framed window partitions. The predictability of knitted structures reflects the rhythmic and cyclical patterns found in nature, while the fluidity of light interacting with yarn disrupts this stability, creating a balance between order and transient flow. This duality simulates the natural world, where repetition and variation coexist.
