FABRIC project by Stéphanie Baechler:

Starting point for my project are formations, shapes and material combinations that result from the rather accidental than conscious every day actions of human life. I was inspired by curtains, fabric pleats, plastic bags, fabrics that happened to be spread on the floor, wrapped objects and creased blankets. The sheer fascination that fabric drapery can evoke! I was equally absorbed by mass production of clothes, their usage (consumption) and wastage.

“Realising this project I am interested in various approaches: Paper or fabric installations in 3D, the processing into a two dimensional pieces of fabric and the creation of a textile object that turns into a symbiosis of 3D and 2D.

First I produced installations using plain coloured fabrics. The guidelines for my formations were the above mentioned pleats and colour moods (ranges). I printed these onto fabric. This lead to a new perception (point of view) of the different composed pieces of fabric.”
