Textile creatures

Material interferences between craft, responsive textiles & ecological systems

Textile Creatures explores how textiles can behave, adapt, and respond through a combination of craft, plant-based materials, and emerging technologies. Created with seaweed-based fibers, thermochromic inks, and conductive threads, these works act as soft systems—shaped by light, temperature, and natural forces. Each piece embodies a tactile form of storytelling through material interferences—where different materials disrupt, influence, and collaborate with one another.

This body of work builds on my PhD research at the Royal College of Art (Storytelling and Material Interferences), extending its exploration of how textiles and puppetry intersect with ecological and technological systems. As part of Designing with Nature – collaborate, these creatures are invitations to co-create with matter, environment, and more-than-human rhythms.
