FIG 02 + FIG 03

FIG 02 and FIG 03 was created for The Mindcraft Project 2025. Lærke Lillelund explore concepts of system, scale and shape through suspended sculptural forms that combine a mixture of tradition and contemporary textile techniques and structural interventions. Both pieces are connected through their use of traditional Japanese shibori techniques that utilise heat-setting and fabric manipulation to create three-dimensional textile components. While FIG 02 is crafted from synthetic polyester organza that holds shape when heat-treated, FIG 03 is produced from silk – a natural material whose form fluctuates based on conditions and environments. Presented together, the two pieces express Lillelund’s ongoing explorations into textiles through a unique combination of intricate three-dimensionality and a mixture of digital printing and hand dyed fabrics.
