The extra warp weave of silk and metal, combined with the satin weft structure, gives the metallic sheen a subtle, elusive quality. The inspiration comes from the Thames River on a rainy day.

About

This project is based on capturing a fleeting moment. Focusing on weave, to exploring and expressing impressions and feelings left behind when people pass by their surroundings, especially those calm and peaceful natural environments. Through this work I hope to create some resonance and reflection, to find those moments that bring power and peace.
