This degree work places itself in the field of textile design, industrial jacquard weaving and color mixing. The motive is to put the thread in focus by enhancing it through loose qualities and color. The aim is to explore enlarged weave structures as patterns, alongside optical color mixing, to create multiple visual expressions. The work has been developed through practical experimentation in the jacquard weaving machine where basic bindings such as plain weave and twill has been scaled up and distorted. The viewers distance to the weaves has played a big part in the development regarding how the colors are mixed. The result shows a collection of five woven fabrics placed in a spatial context. The work suggests a more free way of working in the jacquard machine where no actual bindings are used but instead the drawn patterns decides if the thread goes up or down which creates long floating threads and makes the quality of the fabrics loose. It shows a pedagogical way of how colors affect each other depending on how it is mixed in layers in the weave.
