27 works were selected for The Biennale for Craft and Design 2017 and among them was a dress by Fashion Design teacher, Anne Damgaard: “The project sets out to establish a framework for capturing poetic moments in time in three-dimensional form on the body. My experimental work with light and shadow has formed the basis for the print in the final object. Materials and techniques combine characteristics of speed and slowness. The speed lies in the high-tech material Morphotex, in both its production and expression, which also reflects the fleeting character of the reflections of light off a butterfly wing thanks to a technique developed through in-depth lab studies in Japan. The hemp is also Japanese but painstakingly hand-woven, based on old traditions, while the addition of the digital print brings the speed back up. These reflections on time, our use of time and content in time have inspired my development process and relate to the biennale theme, ‘Liquid Life’, and to Zygmundt Bauman’s theory on ‘Liquid Modernity’, in which modernity is viewed as an eternally temporary, varying and fragile entity.”
