Meet Ada Franey (she/her), a senior in Textiles.

What question are you investigating in your thesis work?

My degree project is an investigation of the use of textiles as archival documents through the replication and abstraction of specific and mundane spaces. Whether this is the ceiling of a bedroom, or a jacket hung on the back of a door, I hope my audience will think twice about spatial experiences they may otherwise have not considered, and connect that reconsideration to a broader thoughtfulness of day-to-day life.

What are your plans after graduation?

I will be working as a textile designer at J.Crew this summer, and then returning in the fall to work for a Providence-based knitwear company.

Inspiration taken from my jacket hanging on my bedroom door. Thinking about hardwood floors, and the dust in the cracks between the boards. by @adaarobin
