Nicola Lie / Woven Basket

Poepke Director, Nicola Lie was given scraps of organic silk colour test pieces and other fabric swatches that had served their original purpose. 

Tartan Mind Mend: Tell us about your re-imagined tartan piece and what inspired you. 
Nicola Lie: My intention was to try to turn soft and flexible fabric into something more rigid and structural. I was inspired by woven scrap fabric mats and basket weaving techniques. I very much enjoyed the meditative process of weaving which was a welcome relief during lockdown.
