'The Sampling Project', 2018 by Hannah Lamb.

The Sampling Project, 2018.

Silk, cotton and mixed fibre textiles. Plant dye, print, devoré and stitch.

Inspired by archival research into katagami (Japanese dyeing stencils), Hannah devised a series of textile experiments that investigate different combinations of natural dyeing, printing and stitching using a wide variety of fabrics. The resulting samples not only demonstrate technical knowledge but also reflect cross-cultural influences and a deeper, intuitive visual ‘handwriting’ that is hard to define. ‘The Sampling Project’ is presented as a a series of textile fragments, archived and catalogued for future reference.
