Haanin Shafeeque - BA (Hons) Textiles in Practice
PlayScape
My practice explores the meeting point of traditional textiles and digital innovation, creating phygital work that blends tactile and digital experiences. I use the power of play to spark curiosity, imagination, and a sense of shared joy. Bold geometry and vibrant colours are central to my approach, and I’m drawn to the way different forms and palettes interact. I often work with 3D modelling and animation to expand the possibilities of textile design, experimenting with how digital tools can support intuitive, hands-on making. This process allows me to explore materiality in new ways, without losing sight of touch, texture, and fun.
PlayScape investigates 3D geometric abstraction through Blender. I created a series of repeat designs using custom 3D motifs, experimenting with colour and surface finishes to elevate their forms and textures. The project invites viewers to reimagine what making can look like in the digital age, where play becomes a method of experimentation, and textile design evolves into a multi-dimensional visual language.
