Reclaimed

The Reclaimed sub-collection focuses on the continued development of the collection’s core technique, using experimentation to expand the possibilities of laser cutting knit. Building on the established methodology, this body of work explores how knitted surfaces can be further manipulated, de-constructed and reassembled through alternative processes, positioning making as an ongoing site of investigation rather than a fixed outcome.

New approaches are introduced through the weaving of cut knitted strips back into the panel structures, creating layered compositions that disrupt and reconfigure the original surface. Variations in construction
are explored by knitting stripes directly into the panels,
introducing more complex compositions within the base panels and allowing colour and structure to interact in more dynamic ways. The incorporation of synthetic mohair introduces a contrasting softness and tactile variation, while knitting with multiple yarns simultaneously produces subtle shifts in density and surface depth across the work.

Through these investigations, the sub-collection moves beyond
a fixed methodology and into a more exploratory practice. This sub-collection positions the technique not as a resolved outcome, but as an evolving process, where material, structure and method are being continuously redefined.
