Horsehair Weaving

MK develops textiles by using small bunches of horsehair interwoven with linen or cotton,  creating curious fabrics in diverse colors and textures. In the weaving process, she manipulates the bunches through knotting, curling and looping. Each final weaving expresses the unique shine, texture and flexibility of the horsehair fibre.

 

MK explains, “ I’m fascinated by the movement of the weavings, how the horsehair is manifest in the net of the weaving technique. Also, the way the light falls on the weaving plays as important role in the process. Each piece of work has its own unique character.”
