Inspired by the textile dyeing technique of silk painting, ‚Off the Grid‘ deals with the dyeing of textiles with a pen plotter. In collaboration with Eva Benamou (Industrial Design, Bezalel Academy) and Antonia Gauss (Textile Design, ABK Stuttgart), the project develops a textile dyeing system and researches the creative possibilities offered by the pen plotter as a digital tool at the interface between textile craftsmanship and industrial reproduction. The silk sheets painted with line and drop patterns, expressing the dance between the designers and the machine.
