Appreciation towards Soojin Kang for providing the following description:

出生于韩国，现居伦敦的艺术家Soojin Kang采用古老的编织技术将丝，棉，麻，木等纯天然材料以意想不到的方式编织出大海气息浓郁却不见大海诗意之作：“微风之浪The Waves in the Breeze”，为人们提供了一个不同以往的想象自然和体验自然之道。毯子挂在墙上，刚柔并济，创新却又质朴。此外她还使用野蚕丝和电线制作出同样满满自然气息的Hampi。

Soojin Kang uses centuries-old hand-weaving, knotting and netting techniques to explore themes of memory and sustainability. Using tools normally alien to weaving, The Waves In The Breeze challenges traditional textile techniques. Repurposing the natural raw material as a framework for the warp provides a new weave; creating unique patterns and forms. The sculptural materials will be apparently consumed by the weave in their construction, as a way of commenting on the relationship between reality, representation and illusion. Objects are eaten, dominated and captured by the weaving, providing an opportunity to experience nature differently, in a textile form. Her work, entitled The Waves in the Breeze, sees found object incorporated into and consumed by textile. The work literally spills off of the wall and onto the objects using their forms as wrap and weft, creating a fascinating interplay between hard and soft, old and new.
