As a textile artist and weaver, Hannah White is fascinated by how textiles can be constructed to create architectural sculptural forms. Her work explores the interplay between the patterns within the woven structure of her fabrics, form and light.Through materials-led exploration she uses woven and stitched threads to create three-dimensional wall based and free-standing textile artworks and sculptures.
During her PhD at the Royal College of Art she combined woven techniques with electroforming to create a hybrid metal and fabric material called Metal Integral Skeleton Textiles (MIST). The hard metal provides structure, whereas the fluid textile allows areas to fold, creating possibilities for intriguing sculptural forms.
