Process Notes — Building Layered Fibre Forms
Layered construction sits at the centre of much of the studio’s work. Rather than approaching crochet as surface decoration, the process focuses on how repetition and tension can gradually build form through accumulation.
In the Strata collection, layers behave almost like sediment — soft structures forming slowly through directional stitch movement and shifts in density.
Structure Through Repetition
Repetition is treated as a structural tool rather than a decorative one. Small variations in tension, spacing and stitch direction alter how each surface curves, compresses or expands over time.
This gradual approach allows forms to emerge slowly rather than being imposed rigidly from the beginning.
Fibre as Form
Soft fibre behaves differently from rigid sculptural materials. Weight, flexibility and tension remain visible within the finished object, allowing the process of making to remain present within the form itself.
The studio’s interest lies in preserving this sense of material responsiveness rather than eliminating irregularity completely.
Many of these structural studies later develop into larger collection systems including Strata and future sculptural object series.
