Emalie Dam Christensen’s work situates herself in the divide between traditional and innovative knitting practices. With an interest in sustainability, she aims to bridge the gap between informal crafts knowledge and future technical advancement, believing that one can inform the other. Through looking at archives and historical references, she projects a future approach to textiles based on emotional design theory and storytelling. Strik:t, a title that refers to Christensen’s Danish heritage, is a process-based enquiry with the outcome of a knitted texture library, where textures can be combined to compose a unique story.
