As a fiber artist, I want to express my
own experiences and feelings through color, pattern and design. My
original, off-loom weaving technique, which I have been developing
for about 30 years, allows me to explore new expressions from this
oldest material used by mankind.
I was inspired by yarn wrappings in traditional crafts of China
and other countries, where yarn has been used to cover many geometric
shapes.

Using a sturdy wood frame as armature,
I develop the technique of using one strand of yarn at a time in two
different directions to build up three-dimensional effects. From different
angles, the viewers can view different surfaces to see a shifting
play of colors and shapes. Sometimes I wrap geometric shapes individually
and construct them into assemblies. Many of the armaturers are from
recycled materials.
My works are often described as "High Tech", due to
their unintentional resemblance to blown-up computer chips. But
I like to play the contrast of the soft and warm material like yarn
with rigid geometry and systematic process, in my continuous search
for new and unexpected expressions.
