Inhale. Exhale. The simple two step action that keeps the human body alive. The oxygen we breath is invisible, yet all encompassing. Our only indication of its existence is through the inflation/deflation of our physical forms.
This project explores the relationship between kinetic inflation and knit structure. Using two different materials: elastic and monofilament, the fabric is brought to life in unexpected ways based on each materials distinct characteristics.
