TAC-DYE
“Tac-dye”, as the first experiment in the series, triggers the dyeing through human control, while the dye drips onto the fabric under the influence of gravity. The longer the dyeing time, the richer and more saturated the indigo blue colors become. This series will continue the dialogue between the three major factors: interaction, gravity, and time, in relation to dyeing.
ARTIFICIAL
Based on the study of natural biological activities and biological structures, Hongci created a collection of biomimetic E-textile works. Hongci’s Biology integrates her aesthetic and material choice into each individual that is derived from nature. These soft-robotic-individuals are chatters of conscious thoughts, raising awareness of how beautiful the nature is and what can we learn from it.
