Passing on the love - the warmth in the hands

Abstract

Often, when people think of yarn, their mind goes to jumpers, knitting, or keeping out the cold. However, yarn is more than just these everyday things for the author: specifically, it is also a medium that can express emotions very well. The softness and texture of the yarn cannot be replaced by other materials. Accordingly, the tapestries made from this material are unique. In this article, I will introduce traditional Chinese fibre art and combine it with my own experiences. Further, I will analyse and study the work of fibre artists both from China and abroad whilst referring to the theme of the sense of touch.
