‘Fire in My Soul’ is inspired by the fire that burns within each one of us fuelling our passions and desires. Individual pieces are ‘knit’ together without any visible seams and form an airy, fluid sculpture that forms to the body. Fire in My Soul uses texture and pattern to capture the energy that starts deep in our core and radiates throughout our body.’
The team’s goal is to create something that is dramatic, has interesting details, moves naturally with the human body and pushes the boundaries of what is expected out of paper.
Materials: Paper from Mohawk paper mills, fasteners
