# Textile Cities Nightscape by Kerry Croghan Pays Homage to the Urban Landscapes By Matt Ho | Published 2011-02-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerry-croghan References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/art/archives/021400.php) & [kerrycroghan](http://www.kerrycroghan.com//) Some pay homage to the urban landscape with photographs and abstract art, but Kerry Croghan decided to go with [textile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-world-sharp-edges) in her project. Inspired by architecture, Kerry Croghan pays tribute to buildings with 'Nightscape.' By cutting cushions and bedspreads into windows and arranging them into clusters, Croghan replicates buildings brilliantly. The clever use of [angled walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glassbrick-apartment) help accentuate the geometric form of skyscrapers. Check out the gallery and see this colorful rendition of [urban buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Textile Art:** Opportunity for artists to explore and innovate in the field of textile art by paying homage to urban landscapes. - **Architectural Inspiration:** Designers can draw inspiration from architecture to create unique and visually striking products in the field of interior design and decor. - **Geometric Forms:** Exploring the use of geometric forms in various industries, such as fashion and graphic design, to create visually captivating and innovative products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to incorporate textile art techniques in their work, creating unique and visually stunning pieces. - **Interior Design:** Innovative use of architecture-inspired designs in interior decor, allowing for the creation of visually striking and imaginative spaces. - **Fashion and Textiles:** Fashion designers can explore the use of geometric forms in their collections, creating avant-garde and innovative pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textile-Inspired Skyscraper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airside.md) - [Textile Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral.md) - [Architecture Melding Artful Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cresco-rug.md) - [Cityscape-Inspired Artful Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambar.md) - [Eye-Catching Textile Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-saville-1.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Whimsical Sculptural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-block-series.md) - [Laser-Cut Urban Artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-city-maps.md) - [Skyscraper-Inspired Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-ganz.md)
