Intention: My starting inspiration for this piece was to test my technical skill in recreating an image onto a weaving. I started out with a black and white picture of Marilyn Monroe, and intended to treat the warps and the looms like a medium for pixel art, with the initial image dictating which“pixels” should be …
Final Weaving Intention: My beginning inspiration was from the landscape sample weavings of my classmates. However, I decided to sketch out different kinds of the landscape from what I had seen before because I wanted to try something new. So I sketched out a landscape that makes …
When I started this project, my starting inspiration had been the night sky and star maps.

Speaking of the impact of human activities on the environment and nature, the first image that came to my mind was …
Intention While making my sample weaving, I found that I very much enjoyed weaving for the sake of experimentation and as a way to familiarize myself with different techniques. I wanted to keep building up these skills but making the final weaving more cohesive as a whole. So I went to Creative Reuse with …
Reflection: This weaving project has not been a easy assignment for me from a lot of aspects (including this writing since I am having a hard time to put all my thoughts together). In this reflection, I will mainly focus on the process of making the 2 weavings as well as my inner struggles and …
