Icy Mountains is inspired by a reflection of nature.

Looking to landscapes as this multidimensional space where many layers and parts make up a whole mountain range, field, jungle, valley, dessert etc. These places are so packed with dimension, so much happens within them from the most tiny microscopic perspective to the widest view range. The biome is packed with animals, living entities, plants, trees, animals, fruits, people, stories, time etc that its almost incomprehensible to translate this through a visual reproduction of space.

Texture resembles all the layers, trails, lines and possibilities. Texture is a language that visually depicts how much information is in a space without taking form in a way that is conceivable to the eye. It’s an abstract way to represent space.

Developing a method that creates aggressively layered textures on soft silk fabric lightens the tone of the expression. The juxtaposition between harsh surface treatment and the delicacy in the fabric produces outcomes that represent the idea of blending two opposing ideas, to make something weighted and packed, seem light and spacious.

The argument between control and lack of control in the print process as well as this contradiction in our external world has tied together when placing the prints in homely environments to see how they behave and work within a space. Bringing calm and tranquillity in our reflections of space.
