Orly Genger

I’ve taken a break from researching to create some material tests. My partner and I are interested in cultural exchange (and possibly observing how people greet each other) but we can’t seem to push that idea any further at the moment. We are taking a little break from discussing our topic to research and create some tests.

Texture wise, I was very interested in using rope, as I saw some cool looking fishing ropes at Borough Market.

An artist who uses fishing ropes in her work is Orly Genger. Orly is an American textile artist who uses knots and ropes on a very large scale. Her work is typically interactive installation work.

I would love to see this type of material (and scale) applied to fashion.
