- week 1:Introduction to sustainability
- I used expired Chinese rice noodles. At first, I wanted to use them as yarn to make some knitting, but they lost their flexibility and were easy to break due to deterioration, so I mixed them together with melted gelatine pieces to form a new sustainable and environmentally friendly fabric
week2:Emerging Technology
I shift my creation from digital glitch art and fabric creation. First, I made the textures of glitch art on the creation software Procreate, then using the waving technique make it just like fabric.
week3:Nature
These works I made after we visit the museum. I paint the insects and use yarn and thread to mimic their factors—their wings , shapes, patterns etc.
week4:Cultural Sustainability
The sustainable growth of Tibetian and Qing weaving and embroidery handicrafts, as published by Zhongwei, the College of Fashion and Design at Sichuan Normal University in China, states As shown in the social transformation section, native embroidery from Tibet and Qiang has grown and is used as a valuable “resource” yet it is also in risk of going extinct.
The weaving and embroidery handicrafts of Tibetan and Qiang native scholars can only be acknowledged by modern society as the close relationship and value of The Times presented by its cultural uniqueness and innovation by actively establishing the connection with the contemporary era and stimulating the kinetic energy of creation and redevelopment.

week5:Empathy
I researched the collage artist Eugenia Loli, whose works（Fig.1) is mostly based on social issues. I learned from her style to create the following collage work（Fig.2)to sympathize with women who have been valued by “being beautiful”.

Your work for week one, introduction to sustainability, is really exciting, really experimental work! I haven’t ever seen someone use noodles before, as a yarn for knitting and crocheting. The final outcome, once mixed with the gelatine pieces, creates such a beautiful, effective piece, almost resembling ice or glass. It would be nice to see a bit more of your creative process, and how you thought of this idea to use noodles and gelatine, as it is such cool, innovative idea.
It would also be nice to see some different techniques used, including some drawing and mark making to explore the lecture topics. It would also be interesting to see some mark making in response to your noodle crochet piece, as you have created such an interesting texture and shape. Working into this fabric you have created and seeing how it responds would also be a really interesting route to take, perhaps with some different hand embroidery stitches. Adding some colour to this piece or exploring colour in general would add some more depth and development to your work. Overall, this is a really fascinating and original exploration of sustainability.
