GF - Art of Manipulating fabric No.1



She has been involved in exploring, classifying, and re-interpreting material manipulationin recent years. Collection No.1 is part of the research titled “Material Manipulations Today”, winning the first place in the Textile category of the Arts Section of the National Scientific and Art Student Conference.

The target was to elaborate a structure based on extensive research. I made chronological parallels and comparisons and clashes (classical vs. modern, traditional vs. futuristic, elegant vs. extravagant...), then I analyzed them in terms of systematic folding (pleating, smocking, tucking...) and from special aspects (aesthetic, artistic, social scientific, economic demands, changes, developments...).

Re-interpretation started in regard to the origins of fabric manipulation, and the rise of demands therefore. Technologies are discussed from the most important aspects of dressing, until they are brought to perfection. It is worthy of special attention how fabric manipulation demands changed in society, how necessities turned into arts.
