| dc.description.abstract | This thesis explores the interdisciplinary nature of textile and the value of learning traditional methods for modern application. The structure combines scholarship and personal practice to describe weaving methodology and examine technological advances in the field of jacquard. The basic vernacular of weaving is analyzed and expanded to explore the ways in which jacquard elevates those ideas to expose new opportunities for creativity and ingenuity. Ideas of self and industry are explored on a personal level through the addition of personal weaving projects which illustrate the processes discussed throughout various stages of design. This thesis synthesizes global thinking to engineer effective approaches to integrating technology with traditional practice to further enhance the connection between weaving and technology. | en_US |
