Biography
To be able to express the intangible of music in a tactile and symbolic form excites me as it allows us to decorate our lives with musical patterns, helping us to connect to those special moments
BeatWoven® is a multi-award winning digital textiles studio. As a client you can select any digital song or sound to be transformed into a woven textile art piece by founder and artist Nadia-Anne Ricketts, through her specially designed BeatWoven audio technology.
After a successful career as a professional dancer, Nadia studied at Central Saint Martins where she started experimenting with ideas to help us feel closer to music. She began exploring the relationship between the developments in digital technologies, music and old crafts such as weaving. Fascinating arithmetic connections revealed themselves between music, fabric construction and code; the binary system that underpins the weave structure, and it’s relationship with digital communication and sound.
Couture fabric collections are also available to purchase as fabric per metre for decorative interior applications.
