Sculpting Wool

A cross-disciplinary media project with KHiO — film, website, and photo series on a fashion student's work with wool.

Sculpting Wool
Concept, photography, media production 2024

A collaborative media project made with fellow students from Art Direction and Graphic Design, together with a fashion student from KHiO (Oslo National Academy of the Arts), documenting her creative process working with wool. The brief covered five deliverables: a short film, a companion website, a brochure, an analog photo series, and a process book.

Rather than showcase a finished artwork, the brief centered on making the process itself visible — the carding, dyeing, spinning, and felting of raw wool.

The project, "Sculpting Wool," was exhibited at KHiO in February 2024.
