Xiao Tan

Xiao Tan is an artist who predominately works with textiles. Following a degree in Fashion Engineering in China, her interdisciplinary and cross-cultural way of thinking allows her to contribute to the literal as well as metaphorical interpretation of textiles.

Textile is an entity. It extends beyond the surface, communicating itself through fibers to threads, planes to spaces. As an artist and a weaver, I resonate with the tension and sensuality of threads that penetrate every stage of the making. Threads are my material language in capturing and expressing scenes and emotions experienced in everyday life.
