Provenance

Wangchuan has been using a traditional weaving technique that has been passed down from his family through the generation. He safeguards this technique amid rapid interferences from the culture and history of his home country. In Free Form From Weaving No. 2, he harmonises the intimate affection and warmth towards his family, with folk wisdom and beliefs that are receding with societal metamorphosis. Suspending an important testaments of a history that is both personal and collective, these intricate arrangements become laboured inventories of the real and make-believe.
