MA Textile Design
In this project, Iâm trying to present an embroidery handcraft from Chinese minority âMiaoâ with my perspective of both Miaoâs culture and textile upcycling. The inspiration is from my impression of the landscape of Yunnan that is the habitat of Miao when I was there two years ago, so the window here is abstract but looks like contains something more. However, as the effects of fast develop speed of industrialization and globalization in China, the original landscape is disappearing. There is a power of changing that we unable to refuse, but I want to keep some trances of the past. The brilliant Miaoâs embroidery is rising disappearing in extensive transactions as well. A good way to save it may just put them into the museum, but it will be better that let more people know it and enjoy it through some way.
