This exhibition revolves around the current technological progress of ClotCloth, focusing on the material itself and the garment designed and made based on its materiality. It also represents a groundbreaking step in realising ClotCloth as my solution for bio-material-based water-resistant textiles. Simultaneously, the exhibition seeks to showcase broader possibilities within technical and material researches, as well as how crafts can evolve further through innovation. Exhibits include technical hybrids created by integrating ClotCloth with other previously developed approaches, such as 3D Weaving and Shaped Cutting / Flowy Cutting. By doing so, this exhibition also attempts to reveal the thought processes behind problem-solving, the values underpinning these innovations, and how these elements portray an alternative vision of our culture collectively.

During the exhibition, certain non-confidential parts of the production process will take place on-site (sewing exhibits mostly), this will provide viewers a glimpse into the production environment. Not only to r re-emphasises the importance of making with one’s own hands as a means of exploration, but also addresses the immense workload of the project. And in order to achieve a higher level of completeness under such circumstance, it’s preferable to continue the making progress during the exhibition period, rather than rushing to finish. As a result, some items may remain in a semi-finished state (in truth, achieving the ideal completion of all planned works could take an additional one to two months post-exhibition). Therefore, the exhibition will evolve, with its content becoming more enriched towards the later stages. In this sense, this exhibition can be seen as a documentation of the moment when technological development has just made the leap from zero to one.
