Poetic entwine is an ongoing project exploring the translation of the digital embroidery machine from digital image to fabric.
Inspired by textile methodologies as a language for space making and the connection of embroidery, expression and identity, a series of experiments were done with the process of digital embroidery. These experiments graph the process of the making of the materiality and the time on the surface.
This process creates a translation from the coded generative drawings to the material; leaving the trail of the material making on the surface and its layers.
The translation of the digitally coded drawings and the trails of time on to the surface create a poetic entwine. With the play of scale and density of the geometries, a surface is woven on top of the surface. The language of the code translated into the language and poetry of the material.
The digital embroidery machine translates the line weights, outlines, points and fills into stitching patterns. Different colors of threads are used to create contrast and depth within the material.
