Transformations and Illusions
Textile design by Hil Driessen
Driessen is a Dutch textile designer. It is said her approach is pioneering new possibilities for textile design. Her distinctive vision of material innovation is revealed from these textile design images. She had folded and stitched a sheet of vinyl to create the silhouette of an attenuated tree. She then photographed the manipulation and then the shadow of real tree, and by using digital technology blended the two images together and then printed onto Trevor CS fabric, Driessen transformed her design onto flat form with visual illusions to create a surprisingly tactile surface.
Self-expression and Art-like Object
Textile designs by Claudia Hill
According to the designer she stated that she could express herself and her feelings through her designs, just as an emotional architect who captures expression in clothing, she sculpts clothing as a 3D form for the body. A textile’s surface with all its subtle details is designer self expression in the art-like object.
