(b.1999) Ethan Fenske's area of focus is creating jacquard woven textiles which push the boundaries of traditional means of what a jacquard loom can be thought to do. He does this specifically through process-driven sampling through both structure and through material, always looking for ways where bisection of the two results surface effects which can be used to push traditional ideas of industrial textile design.
He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin - Madison’s textile and fashion design program and the recipient of both a Land‘s End Design Award and a 1st Place Sergenian’s Rug Design Award.
His upcoming works will feature multilayer whole-garment construction studies, as well as further research into foldable fabrics and their potential industry applications, having developed skills with technical weave design during his time studying digital weaving with a TC-2 jacquard loom.
He is also working with the Prabhakar Research Group at UW Engineering, assisting with research into woven carbon-fiber composites by designing the woven archutecture of the composites and producing the woven fabric on-site.
At this time, all pieces shown are one-of-a-kind, and not actively for sale, although inquiries or commissions are always welcomed.
