At left on the table, the hairy swatches are from her early work with Claudy Jongstra on the felt ropes of “Before Departure.” The pair worked together intensively to select the final form they would take, with Aladogan experimenting on all different kinds of wools; the beard-like piece on the left is a combination of raw sheep’s wool and feathers, and the creamy bit on the right is treated felt. In the middle is a sample of the woven textile that will eventually wrap around the art-box she’s creating for Fons Welters. It’s being made at the nearby Textile Museum Tilburg, a favorite resource of Dutch designers that offers research and production facilities for creating experimental fabrics.
