Biotechnological Advancements in Textile Art: Applying Biological Forms and Structures to Commercial Dyeing and Weaving Processes

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of biomorphic features within the artistic design of dyeing and weaving products, analyzing the synergy between biomorphism's aesthetic and structural elements. By examining both the external forms and the underlying conceptual inspirations derived from nature, this research constructs a framework for understanding how biomorphic characteristics influence the design of dyed textile products. The study highlights the significant role that biological forms from plants and animals play in enhancing the aesthetic and functional qualities of textile designs. Utilizing biotechnological approaches, the research quantifies the prevalence and impact of various natural motifs in textile art, demonstrating that plant shapes, animal forms, and marine elements are prominently featured in dyed fabric designs, achieving an embodiment degree of approximately 0.8. The analysis further explores the dual role of these biomorphic forms in textile design, where they contribute not only to the product's visual appeal but also to its practical utility. The findings reveal that the decorative function of these biomorphic designs is evident in 80% of the studied products, while their practical utility is apparent in 70% of the cases. This investigation underlines the cultural and educational value of integrating biological forms and structures into textile design, offering new insights into the intersection of biotechnology and art. By blending scientific understanding with creative textile practices, this research contributes to the development of innovative, commercially viable textile products that harness the aesthetic and functional benefits of biomorphism. The study not only enriches the field of textile design but also opens avenues for commercial biotechnology applications in the creation of functional and decorative fabric products.
