• Intersections
  Titled 'Intersections', this is a collaborative piece that brings together a mother and a daughter's craft practices. Within a square of textile, my acquired skill of Pojagi (a Korean patchwork technique) meets miniature crochet - a skill my mother is exceedling good at. While both the techniques are painstaking and entail elaborate lengths of time and labour, they also stand in distinction in interesting ways. For instance, while pojagi is defined along straight lines, crochet is defined by its curvilinear lines. The piece also bespeaks inheritance and legacy of craft - how my skills are not mine but transmitted from my mother to me which I later adapt to another technique that I learnt anew, in this case, pojagi.
