Research that reimagines the modern speaker through double cloth weaving, combining traditional yarns with conductive fibers, magnets, and mini amplifiers to create woven textiles that make sound.

Recorded sound has transformed the way we express ourselves, share stories, and compose music. Cycle Circle Cycle Coil asks how storytelling and listening might change if our speakers were woven from yarn instead of built from plastic and metal, and what stories ordinary objects might record and retell from their environments.

The project is built on double cloth weaving, a technique in which the weaver constructs two or more separate layers of fabric at the same time on a single loom. The layers can be joined at strategic points, a method historically used to create quilted fabrics, reversible blankets, and structured garments. In Cycle Circle Cycle Coil, those layered pockets and joins become the architecture of a soft speaker.

By weaving conductive fibers directly into the cloth, Craftwork explores the materiality of sound and the sonic qualities of fabric. Designing electronic textiles (e-textiles) is central to Craftwork's practice, bridging centuries of craft knowledge with contemporary technology.
