• Aude works with maedup, a Korean knotting technique
• Her pieces are made with core-spun yarn, which makes them voluminous
• She has exhibited her work in South Korea

Aude Tahon's textile pieces are made entirely from complex knots, using a single continuous thread. "I create knotted textile surfaces with volume. I always have to know where to start and where to end," she says. Aude was familiar with fabric early on in life, as her grandfather was a wool expert. Although she was interested by textiles, she studied anthropology and social sciences. After earning a diploma in weaving from École Duperré, Aude trained with Korean artist Kim Sang-Lan. She learned the traditional Korean knotting technique, maedup, while developing her own creative approach over the course of three years. "When I first started, I used to make a few mistakes, which were crucial for my development as an artist," she says. "For instance, I once chose to work with a 100-metre thread. It was too short for me to complete the piece I was working on, which taught me to consider the end result of my works before starting. I have never made that mistake again."
