Abstract
Personalizing artistic expressions through textile design is an exciting way to explore innovative concepts and reflect individual or shared narratives. This study delves into the use of digital tools and natural materials to develop textile patterns and analyse their interactions with audiences. These materials take on a different appearance when viewed through or created with a digital lens. They provide a new way to experience these concepts and create an alternate reality. By using a qualitative arts-based research (ABR) approach, this research focuses on how self-created digital images on textiles can open up new possibilities and transport viewers beyond their physical realms. These collaborative textiles were exhibited in various settings to examine their adaptability and potential in relation to space. This practical creative approach delivered remarkable possibilities for reflection and collaborative analysis. Additionally, these textiles created a space-changing effect when displayed in different architectural settings, leading to new interpretations and experiences.
