water pattern scarf with legend
image: merel karhof


while spending three months in venice for a residency, dutch designer merel karhof created a scarf based
on colours she recorded in the city. the city of venice is intrinsically linked to water, thanks to its many
islands and canals. karhof photographed the colour of the water on her walk to the studio each day.
she took a photo at the same time each day using the exact same camera settings for consistency.
using the colour of thee water in each photo she developed a pattern that was then used on a series of
accessories including this scarf. the pattern is digitally printed on silk with a small legend to show the
wearer the source of the pattern.

Light reflection is not traceable in scientific terms.
It depends on many factors, for example if weather conditions are the same, etc.
