- COLOUR IN LOOPSExploring colour perception in relation to light in weaving and hand-tufting technique The motivation for this work is based on the challenge to the preconception of hand-tufting through material, colour and light. When imagining a rug, a very specific image appears in our mind. Some details of that image could vary from person to person, but what is almost certain, dense and heavy, probably made out of wool, woven textile will pop up in front of our eyes. This work explores new expressions of hand-tufted textiles achieved by the material driven research. The investigation proves that qualities of monofilament yarn have a great ability to enhance colours as well as add certain kind of lightness to the handtufted piece. Furthermore, the transparency of monofilament yarn allows an interplay between the loops and the woven backing, opening up to a new patterns and changes in colour perception.
