Philip Welp - Winner from the 4th Semester
Faunus
In the short project Faunus I was interested in connecting a hoodie with nature from my place of residence. To do this, I first buried an old hoodie in potting soil for a day. This experimental approach helped me understand how the color and texture of the fabric changed. To mimic the grasses and mosses of the Grönauerheide, I felted thin structures of wool onto the sweater. However, to make the project more commercial and wearable, I replaced the earth with a foam paste in the following, which is more suited to the demands of everyday life. In addition, I used a thick, roughened, wool fabric for the hoodie and then reworked it by hand with felt wool.
