I’M NOT WASTED

Wall panel

The decorative wall panel was made using polyester offcuts from Jersey Cannon Textiles that hadn’t passed quality control. After many structural tests at the Talbot Design workshop, I developed the technique of capturing the shape of folded materials using temperature only. Melted polyester created a hard structure on the outside, although the fabric remained soft on the inside of the panel. This process could be characterised as a deconstruction of constructed textiles. Instead of stitching it together, I damaged the fibers with heat to create a certain shape. The unmelted parts of textiles were used as an element which assembled the panel to the wall.
