‘A home is mine’ is a practice-based research project driven by methods to build emotional durability, and therefore longevity, into clothing. It also documents a technical journey, developing a unique methodology for knitted garment design as well as an understanding of advanced knit technology.

 

The outcomes marry together this conceptual research and deep technical thinking, and the final garments stand alone as beautiful 2D pieces. They invite a connection and relationship with the wearer by becoming a recognisable garment once on the body.

 

This collection should be used as examples of new ways of thinking, exploring alternative garment making methodologies and challenging the use of knitwear technology.
