Magnifying familiar traditional techniques through the union of knitted wool and cotton fabrics, Zhang’s work deals with her familial history of undoing woolens to form new ones and wielding processes of centuries-old weaving methods. Incorporating strange shapes, warm colors, and soft materials with poetic sentimentality, the work depicts lush universes made of deserts, flowers, glaciers, and animals as renditions of the human psyche and emotions.
