Mouthfeel is the tactile sense of eating. It is the sensory characteristics, which are materialized by the structural qualities of food.
In my work I have a focus on the texture of food and have studied the sensations, which emerge in the mouth. In this space shapes, volumes and gradations grow.
I have developed a design methodology to translate these volatile impressions to lasting expressions embodied in color, materials and texture. This I have transformed into four books with textile samples.
With my background as a textile designer and design studies teacher, I will expose the aesthetics behind mouthfeel and transform it into textiles.
