About
Katabatic Light Collection
Wind is an invisible force made visible through movement, shifting patterns, and the traces it leaves across the landscape. Katabatic Light draws inspiration from katabatic winds, where cold, dense air flows downhill under the force of gravity.
Katabatic Collection
The woven form translates this movement through shifting patterns of light and shadow, creating an ever-changing presence within its surrounding space. The weave releases into linear strands, introducing softness and organic movement while gently diffusing and guiding light through the structure. The tension between rhythmic pattern and organic form creates an evolving relationship between texture, light, and shadow, revealing distinct patterns and sculptural elements from all angles. Found industrial materials are intentionally repurposed through hand fabrication, diverting them from landfill and extending their lifecycle.
Forth Milestone
EXHIBITION
Opening gallery exhibition at Field and Onto Gallery, highlighting artwork constructed from repurposed materials and exploring the relationship between material, form, function, and space.
Third Milestone
CONSTRUCTION
Refining the chosen material treatments and construction methods to build the final functional objects.
Second Milestone
CONCEPT & DESIGN
Experimentation and material testing revealed how they could be transformed. Informing the design, alongside sketching and sampling.
First Milestone
MATERIAL SOURCING
Working with repurposed industrial and found materials, exploring how industrial materials can take on the visual language of softness, movement, textiles, weaving, and unraveling.
