人物间 (HUMAN AND MATERIAL GAP)
Textiles have been transformed with the advent of mass production from a valued and repairable object, to 300 000 tonnes of used clothing going to landfills annually in the UK alone. Textiles are so ingrained into our society being worn almost continuously for our entire lives, yet their value and perception now has disconnected us tremendously from their true importance and capabilities. How could we reconnect this gap between us and textiles? What does this unprecedented relationship reveal about us as a species? Through her project, WooJin aims to explore these questions, and to create ways of bridging the gap between us and objects, through creating playful sculptures out of discarded, or old textiles.
