Never One Without the Other<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laura Balocco\u2019s work explores engagement and interconnection. All knitted pieces result from a process with five workshops, including dancers and performers improvising with textiles. The designer observed interactions, movements and shapes. Workshop participants discussed feelings, happenings and interesting intuitive patterns which arose during practice. The textiles with playful colours and a contradicting combinations of yarns are open to a variety of interpretations and modes of wearing, interconnecting people or as mirrored pieces showcasing the multitude of perspectives. The resulting artefacts are neither conventional garments nor predefined patterns but versatile textiles designed to wrap, shape, or be shaped by the body. Presented in a performance, the four pieces reflect and embody key moments and ideas from the workshops, merging material, movement and emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
