Grown

In 2021 textile department of Pallas UAS initiated an international cooperation project during which invited artists and students from Latvia, Sweden, Finland and Estonia started to develop MultiWeave as a craft technique that enables to weave unique structures and forms. MultiWeave consists of warp and weft as traditional weaving but the weft yarn can move between and around the warp yarns so that the resulting material is unique in the history of weaving. Participants were encouraged to build their own version of the tools. Everything has not been invented yet!

“Grown” as a theme has inspired the authors to investigate and see the processes what we people try to manage and guide. Flowerbeds and plans, crop rotation and grafting.
