She uses a traditional material in combination with innovative design to create new forms and experiences. ]]> 2018-01-08 11:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219292788 mialim https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219293541 2018-01-08 11:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219293541 mialim https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219293596 The range wooden textiles seeks to convey a new experience. We are all used to hard wooden floors or touching tree bark but not a wooden surface that can be manipulated by our hands. Strozyk is constantly experimenting with ways to apply textile-like properties to wood, making it soft and flexible. ]]> 2018-01-08 11:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219293596 mialim https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219294253 2018-01-08 11:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219294253 mialim https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219294333 The result of Strozyk's work is a mix of stiffness and flexibility, challenging what's expected of this material. I think the beauty of amalgamation in her work is that at first, you're unaware of the combination of materials. Once you realise the construction, it elevates the work to an new level. ]]> 2018-01-08 11:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219294333 mialim https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219294833 2018-01-08 11:12:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219294833 mialim https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219294980 In today's society, the world around us is becoming intangible. Everything is done through the click of a button on a screen. We are in a time where visual culture is so strong that we need to re connect with materials and realign with the importance of giving emotional value to an object. ]]> 2018-01-08 11:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219294980 mialim https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219295543 2018-01-08 11:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219295543 mialim https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219295663 The process of turning wood into a textile surface begins by breaking wood into small, triangular surfaces and manually attaching them to a textile base.

The wood she uses is wood veneer in 0.6mm thickness. Not all wood can be used, e.g. oak as it's too brittle. Maple and Cherry are also some wood which she uses. ]]> 2018-01-08 11:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mialim/3ucorbk9mhoc/wish/219298027
