Back to original languageAbout Alison
Art is a gateway to multiple universes, opening up sensory and emotional experiences. It offers itself.
Art touches us, makes us think, it changes us. It is a look at the world, at a society, at a moment in life.
Design borrows from it, creating narratives while seeking solutions adapted to current societal and environmental issues. I believe in reflection, exploration, and sharing to fuel possibilities.
Creation and development of textiles with positive impact and sharing of know-how:
- Textile design, colors & materials in eco-design, upcycling
- Artistic creation and artisanal manufacturing of materials, mainly in machine knitting
- Educational workshops and awareness-raising: machine knitting, collaborative knitting, upcycling of used textiles, conferences on textile pollution and overconsumption, etc.
Principles: local manufacturing, recycled and recyclable materials, technical and aesthetic durability, repairability, but also cooperation and social connection.
