‘Pattern Perception’ is a sample project that, through making, aims to give purpose to found patterns and forms from our surroundings. Textiles is often a tool for storytelling, and with a focus on sampling, the project tells us a story of how our surroundings can be interpreted. Using traditional textile techniques and pushing the boundaries with modern ones, the perception of these found patterns develops into something new and unique to the individual.
