Analogous to the factually functional context in which they are usually worn, the classic patterns of shirts are usually based on straight lines or lines crossing at right angles. When the fabric is unravelled and divided into narrow stripes, these geometries emerge and can be transferred into new, more complex structures. The stripes retain the colour and geometric coding of their previous patterning, but shift like a digital glitch, so that their new arrangement simultaneously reveals the disruption and dissolution of the original order.
This reordering is achieved by processing it as knitted or woven fabric, with novel textures and patterns that appear controlled but free of perfection. This effect follows from the combination of two structures, each ordered in itself, which, laid on top of each other, can produce an infinite amount of variations and interferences.
