I create art that is mobile and site specific, on the intersection between the disciplines of fiber art, painting, and sculpture. Rather than locking myself within the bounds of any one artistic tradition, I have disregarded such artificial barriers to expression. My aim has been to remain true to my creative will, even when the political situation in my country made it difficult for me to present all my work publicly in the 1970s and early 1980s.

The emotional experiences underlying my work are more important forms of inspiration than the formal visual arrangements I create. In the process of weaving, I am often surprised at the direction my work takes. I continually seek new means to convey my inner vision, often juxtaposing materials, such as steel and fiber, with diametrically different connotations. Fiber art is a form of painting and vice versa; my work collages abstract elements with found objects from my personal history, industrial slabs of steel with meticulously handwoven fiber tapestries.

In my earlier work, I created large figurative forms pulsating from within layers of cold horizontal and vertical lines. These juxtapositions of human shadows, outlines, and a linear geometric format are meditations on the great mysteries of life, among them pain, power, love, and faith. The abstract content of my work cannot be easily explained by the titles of each piece. Indeed, I invite each viewer to search for and find an individual meaning in my work.

我在纤维艺术、绘画和雕塑的跨界中，创造可移动的以及特定场域艺术。我没有把自己局限在任何一种艺术传统的界限内，而是忽视了这些人为的表达障碍。我的目标一直是忠于我的创作意愿，即使在20世纪70年代和80年代初，我的国家的政治态势曾让我很难公开展示我所有的作品。

我作品背后的情感体验比我创作的视觉体验更重要。在编织的过程中，我经常对自己作品的方向感到惊讶。我不断寻找新的方式来表达我的内心视觉，经常将有着截然不同形态的钢铁、纤维等材料并置创作。纤维艺术是一种绘画形式，反之亦然;我的作品是将我的经历与感受用工业钢板和手工编织的纤维共同拼接的形式表达出来。



在我早期的作品中，用水平和垂直线条的层次变化创造出巨大的形象。这些人的影子、轮廓和线性几何形式并置在一起，体现对生命的沉思，包含了痛苦、力量、爱和信仰。我的每一件作品题目无法完全解释作品的抽象内涵。事实上，我邀请每一位观众在我的作品中寻找和发现一种自己的个人感受。

My work on the cycle “EXERCISE” was based on the photos I took when my sister, who is a pianist, was practicing - preparing a new program for the concert. The photos are printed on linen canvas which I divided into different fragments. Individual - selected elements are joined by hand sewing. In addition, the compositions are complemented with embroidery and red cotton threads.

“我的作品‘练习’系列作品是我拍摄了我的钢琴家姐姐为音乐会练习曲目时的照片，将这些照片印到亚麻布画布上，并把它们分成不同的片段后，用红线将这些布料缝在一起。”
