"I’ve been dyeing yarns with random flowers and other dyestuffs to experiment with 'preserving' memories of events/people/things through colors, due to recent losses of loved ones.The tangible materials are such a solace when everything else is so digital nowadays, and the dyeing process has been the only few things that get me through these gloomy days (literally and figuratively). Most dyes are not good in quality, and they fade easily (already showing differences in shades after two weeks). But the visible change through the passage of time is somewhat reflective of the intensity of the emotional responses to the losses, which I find rather comforting." Jessie Wei-Hsuan Chen
A beautiful meditation on colour, love and loss. beautiful subtle and healing in its contemplative process and nature.
