Tingting Xiao…conceptual woven bag

@arieeelll33…

‘The ‘Conceptual Woven Bag’ 2024 is inspired by the traditional Cheongsam patterning process, I prefer to create complete designs in a continuous plain weaving process and then fold them into 3D works of art. In terms of function this design method is both aesthetically pleasing and durable with minimal fabric waste.

The colours and natural yarn selection reflects my preference for the beauty of the yarn and of weave structures; the soft focus of cotton, the shimmer of raw silk and the toughness of hemp provide both a contrast and a practical value.

I am inspired by the work of Fukumi Shimura and Anni Albers alongside traditional tapestry techniques.’
