TRACE, 2023
Cotton thread, Xiaoshan needle making
Variable size
The design takes inspiration from the creased and fractured backing paper utilized in the lace-making process. By employing the macro imagery of creased lines and punctures formed by needles, I aim to draw attention to the overlooked backing paper and its significance. Simultaneously, the abstract pattern serves as a symbol of the powerful surge of the Qiantang River, originating from my hometown, as it engulfs the sandy landscape.
设计的灵感来自于在萧山花边制作过程中使用的折痕和断裂的背纸。通过使用由针形成的折痕和穿孔的宏观图像，旨在引起人们对被忽视的底纸及其意义的关注。同时抽象的图案也象征着家乡的钱塘江潮水涌上沙地时的瞬间。
This work is a collaborative work.
