Introduction.
Emilie Palle Holm is a textile designer fascinated by and specializen in the systematic universe of the loom and the iterative process of weaving. Holm sees the process as an intricate combination of rationality and intuition, that is simultaneously controlled and uncontrollable. While the loom and the warp set-up dictate boundaries, these can be challenged and manipulated in an exploratory and innovative approach. Holm aimes to create dynamic, complex textile interactions between color, material, and ornamentation, with strong haptic and visual appeals.
By means of the textile interations, she inspirers to evoke people’s curiosity by breaking with the prevalent expectations of the textile material as to the aesthetical, functional, and technical expression, while urging people to enter a physical and sensuous exploratory dialogue with the textiles in a digitalized world. The designer believes that the aesthetical, sensuous experience, that unfolds when interacting bodily with textiles possesses a great communicative, educational, and sustainable value, while making the spectator aware of and appreciate textile craftsmanship.
