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.’
01-11th August 2024. Many thanks to Tingting for the work and the conversations.
conceptual woven bag…2024
@zibian27
Tingting’s philosophy is rooted in the art of hand-weaving, drawing inspiration from traditional tapestry techniques applied to contemporary art practice.
Inspired by the works of Anni Albers and Fukumi Shimura, ‘the Conceptual Woven Bag’ colour and material selection demonstrates her preference for the beauty of the yarn and weave structures, balanced with functionality:
the soft focus of cotton, the shimmer of raw silk and hemp provide a bold contrast.
The work is not just about fabrics but also everything seen, touched and worn.
Influenced by her superstition-rich Cantonese background, Tingting seeks to explore the spiritual properties of natural fabrics and animal hair. Animal hair is said to bring a sense of meditation, good luck, and wealth to the wearer.
The “Amulet Collection-Wild Attachment(2023)” was inspired by a visit to ‘Lindway Springs Alpacas’.
Using soft alpaca wool and fur, she experimented with double cloth and tapestry techniques on a loom to weave wearable talismans.
Many thanks to Tingting for the work and the great conversation. Find more @arieeelll33

Jean-Marc Dubruel de Broglio Reflections on a genocide…of helplessness and despair.
Born out of hopelessness but having to do something… although it makes no difference.
The slow process of painting each stick is calming. The bone white paint covering each branch unifying the fallen limbs, each losing its identity, abandoned to a new landscape.
In public view the pile of sticks grows each day…’
Many thanks to Jean-Marc for the work.

‘My background before persuing fine art was in archaeology and the history of art.
I have a degree in Archaeology and I used to participate in fieldwork. I worked on archaeological sites with burials: the burial of political prisoners in Poland during Stalins rule; a 17th century cemetery in central London.
The observations I made of the process of decay of bones and soft tissue, of bone disease has had an impact on my art practice.
Clay/ceramics is always present on archaeological sites, often the dating of a site is based on the ceramic shards found.
Clay is in common use today, it is in the bricks of a wall, pavements, toilets, toothpaste, makeup, medicines.
Clay has a symbolic aspect; according to the myths of various cultures it is the material used to create humans.’
Many thanks to Ewelina for the work and the install yesterday ❤️
