Gentle Metal

Hand knitting / Metallic coated yarn / 2020

The hand-knitted clothing is constructed by a special kind of metallic coated yarns developed by Prof. Kinor Jiang and his research team. The magic metallic coating technology gives the textured polyester a hard feel with shining metallic colours. I knitted these "hard" yarns using a fairly freedom knitting stitch and transform them into a super "soft" form. The metallic creature alters itself very gently to hide from the environment.
