Audet Tahon creates an innovating light textile material on a Korean technique of traditional knots called “maedup knots” that she applies to the creation of objects for fashion accessories and decorative items. This work on textile allowes her to play with shadow and light contrasts as well as on flat surfaces and depths or emptiness and full spaces.The use of knotted threads reveals the essential of the architecture of the textile object. Her creations have a flowing, translucent, arial nature.
Through her studies in anthropology, Audet Tahon has always been interested by different type of objects from a technical and creative point of view from the propellers drawn from sculpted hunting tools to the study of technique of dyeing and weaving such as Ikat. Then she has decided to put into practice some of these techniques to experiment and develop her learning: dyeing, folding, assembling, sewing, weaving, knotting. She has tried several experiments and do compare different kind of creativity whether it be with women coming from different countries on handycraft production or through various creative fields or when braiding for the luxury jewellery to costumes for the musical “Le Roi Soleil”.
Since 2005, her work has been shown and has given her the opportunity to present her own creations to a large public.
She participates to the exhibition “Garden Party” at Creative Gallery Eleni Marneri in Athens, on 9th of April 2011.
