Roadkill is the first piece of textile sculpture series which interpret the forms and shapes of fauna. The second piece can be found here.

Fabrics of the series were originally jacquard-woven in 2014 when I was doing design studies at Rhode Island School of Design. Pieces have been re-purposed in 2021 as a creature-like sculptures which borrow details and functionality from sportswear.

Roadkill fetches its name from the double-sided design with fleshy pink backside and flowery limb and scar-tissue pattern. The soft and warm sculpture features cotton straps enabling different kind of foldings. The white strap-ends are 3d-printed with white PETG-filament.

The sculptures were presented at BLOOM 2021 group exhibition at Lokal gallery, Helsinki in May 2021.

” BLOOM is Lokal’s biannual youth exhibition, featuring the works of artists and designers under the age of 30. As the fifth exhibition of it’s kind, Bloom has become an established portal for young blossoming creatives to showcase their pieces in a curated context.” - Lokal gallery
