Tuntunre presents The Making with TUNTUNRE ; A digital Presentation.

The work is grounded in a material-led approach to making, where fabric is not treated as a fixed surface, but as something to be altered, manipulated, and redefined through process. Each piece develops through intervention, cutting, joining, layering, and reconstruction, allowing the material to take on new form and meaning over time. At the centre of Tuntunre is a practice of transformation. The work does not rely on pristine or untouched materials. It engages with what already exists, reworking and recontextualising it through technique and controlled experimentation. This positions making as an active process of change, where garments are built through adjustment, response, and continuous refinement. The film reflects this through a close attention to process. It stays within the act of making, showing how each decision shapes the outcome. You see the stages of development, the shifts in form, and the discipline required to resolve each piece. What emerges is not only how the work is made, but how it evolves through handling and time. There is a clear relationship between material and method. The outcome is not imposed on the material. It is developed with it. Each piece carries the marks of its transformation, holding the process within its final form. Within the context of Woven Threads VII: CRAFTED, this presentation aligns with a broader focus on method, material understanding, and circular systems of production. Tuntunre situates its work within this through its commitment to reuse, reconstruction, and the extension of material life through craft.
