Astrid Krogh's work in particular shows how the ikat process has developed through generations and into new technologies. The video shows a 'light tapestry' made of paper yarn with organic patterns created in optic fibres, and refers to the ikat weaving technique, which she has interpreted by using light as an imaginary dye. The light creates its own patterns and shapes, making gradual transitions between colourways and giving the textile life and movement. Her work is a great example of how the methods of ikat are still used in contemporary textiles and how the patterns are being reinvented using developing technology.
