CHEAH UI-HOON, THE BUSINESS TIME, June 10, 2016

WEAVING, to Thai artist Santi Wangchuan, is more than just knotting and hand-joining threads together to create textile pieces. It's a day-to-day lifestyle and the force which holds the family and community together.

"It ties together our lifestyle, spirituality and occupation; it strengthens Thai traditions and it's an expressive skill," shares the 28-year-old artist who grew up in a multi-generational family of traditional weavers.
