Arts Thread

The project aims to reconnect to my pure and sometimes surreal childhood freedom, bringing it to life as a collection of woven textiles. Recently, I had a chance to look through my old sketchbooks from five to six years old. They were filled with images rarely found in my present sketchbook: animals, figures, vehicles, and landscapes with colourful, rough, and uncontrolled strokes. As a child, drawing or creating was a source of pleasure as a form of play. Now I have my ‘creation frame’, which is trained, refined, and sometimes restricts me. Drawing is not considered a playful activity anymore. As an adult who wants to avoid drawing and gets pressure from it, I intend to revisit my childhood and enjoy and play.
