    Abstract

    This Master of Research project considers how the materiality of ancestral lace textiles can be creatively explored through textiles and textile processes. My role as a creative researcher in this project is to unravel the multiple strands of knowledge that can be obtained through re-creating historical objects. The interdisciplinary engagement with lace attempts to define and characterise worn, historic cloth objects as stimuli for speculation on personal histories, tools to extend social and cultural knowledge.
