Almost everything we use comprises of fibre, be it Natural fibre (animal or Plant) or Synthetic fibre. This course started with exploring different types of fibres and its political, economic and cultural importance.
We even experimented with some materials for example soaking it in water, glue or acetone, or applying dyes on it, weaving with it or even separating each fibre.

INSTALLATION:
Using all the explorations, we had to make a final installatoins using any three materials. The installation did'nt have to mean anything in specific, it just had to show your creativity with the material.
I choose Jute and dried coconut leaves.
And started weaving them together.
After two rounds of weft, I conneted both the loose ends and made it into a cylindrical structure.
I made 9 such structures and cut them into different lenghts.
Arranging the tower like structures and inserting Fairy lights into each of the structure.
