Abstract
This thesis provides context for a body of textile works. The textiles explore themes of memory and emotional landscape, connections between members of an ecosystem and the ways in which communication, and attempts to both communicate and decipher ourselves and each other is based on a lichen-like mutuality. Harnessing anthropologist Tim Ingold's concept of 'the textility of making' and philosopher and eco-feminist Donna Haraway's concept of 'making-with' or 'sympoesis', this thesis explores concepts which become tangible and embodied through the weaving process.
