areas, each comprising of a series of linked projects located in knit design research. Individual Colour Innovation investigates the use of colour and light to disrupt pattern perception, challenging colour use in fashion and interiors and offers sustainable solutions to the impact of textile coloration. Collaborative Material Innovation extends the use of knit as a flexible, material system within architecture Multi-agency Societal Innovation uses design research to bring change in education policy, social inclusion, well-being and community in partnership with major national or regional organisations such as the Crafts Council or Leeds City Council. The unifying aspect of this work is the use of knit as a research tool. Knit research requires a unique body of knowledge, with an understanding of materials, technology, process and aesthetics. This combination can be applied to produce innovative solutions to real world problems. My research follows an interdisciplinary approach through collaboration, using methodologies from architecture, physics, psychology, dance and poetry. It has been disseminated widely in exhibitions, journal papers and international conference presentations.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin: 0px; border: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.3px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-98ba851\" data-id=\"98ba851\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5e0210 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b5e0210\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/cocreate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/head-shot-liz_Elizabeth-Gaston-scaled-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1581\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/cocreate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/head-shot-liz_Elizabeth-Gaston-scaled-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/cocreate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/head-shot-liz_Elizabeth-Gaston-scaled-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/cocreate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/head-shot-liz_Elizabeth-Gaston-scaled-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/cocreate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/head-shot-liz_Elizabeth-Gaston-scaled-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/cocreate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/head-shot-liz_Elizabeth-Gaston-scaled-1-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/cocreate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/head-shot-liz_Elizabeth-Gaston-scaled-1-1638x2048.jpg 1638w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dc18d4c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dc18d4c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ce095ae\" data-id=\"ce095ae\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3709f37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3709f37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat;font-size: 16px;font-style: italic;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: 0.3px;white-space: normal\">------- Elizabeth\u2019s projects:<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cf455a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7cf455a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat;font-size: 16px;font-style: italic;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: 0.3px;white-space: normal\">------- Elizabeth\u2019s publications:<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d95ac9 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3d95ac9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat;
