Shapes of Light
Shapes of Light is a series of woven cashmere scarves. The series includes three designs inspired by natural and urban scenes: the sunrise on the sea, building lights in the city at night, and soft moonlight in the evening. Illustration concepts were translated into geometric and minimal woven patterns to suit the requirements of weaving. Each scarf is dyed and woven in a Scottish mill, and the surface is raised with traditional hand-worked teasels for a soft finish. The aim is to turn a daily accessory into a wearable art piece.
