I’M NOT WASTED

CARPET

After tests and attempts of combining organic and artificial fibers, I came up with a process which focuses on using the acrylic yarns as a binder for woolen selvedges. I used the textile waste coming from Bute and Tosunoğlu Textiles. A thin layer of melted acrylic yarns was created and combined with the wrapped selvages in the circular shape by using the heat press. I used single white yarns as a decorative element at the back of the carpet remaining the soft and haptic surface on the other side.
