Description/Abstract:

The Lace Effects exhibition at the Cite International de la Dentelle et del la Mode de Calais (International Centre for Lace and Fashion), showcased textile, fashion and design creations inspired by the theme of lace.

"I have interpreted the 'Lace Effect' as an extension of the layering process, hiding and revealing layers or fragments of images, drawings and shapes. The relationships between the past and present, one-off and mass production are also explored in the work. I found the archive at Cite International de la Dentelle et del la Mode de Calais very inspiring, providing a rich source of imagery. The traditions of quality and the historical value of lace are a timely reminder of the current revolution in textiles production and how we encompass contemporary and future design and production methods".

"In the 'Kaleidoscope coat' I have explored the relationship between the three-dimensional garment form, pattern cutting and the two dimensional digital printed images. The 'Kaleidoscope coat' is designed as a digital one-off, a carefully crafted balance of the hand and the digital. The coat is presented as an exhibit, artefact or sample rather than a wearable piece. The piece is inspired by the graphite blackened hands of the lever lace operators and the technical expertise developed over many generations. By contrast it is produced with cutting edge digital technology and created by a maker who is part of the digital revolution, a revolution that presents such unprecedented creative possibilities." - Neil Bottle.
