HEMP Project
The Voyage of the Shuttle series consists of three boat-shaped sculptures based on the form of a weaving shuttle. Each work is connected to the place where its materials were gathered: ramie from Taiwan, flax from Europe, and hemp from Thailand.
The Boundary Landscape series consists of three woven tapestries. They follow behind the shuttle boats, like traces left in water. In each tapestry, the artist places plant fibers that she gathered and stripped by hand during her field research. These fibers root the works in the places she visited. This close act of collecting and weaving shows a dialogue between material, land, and memory. The tapestry is not only a map. It is also a reflection on territory, identity, and the relationship between people, environment, and time.
