Can you talk more about the process and
inspiration behind your rug making?
I’m living away from my parents right now
and I think I find myself making a lot of
Asian symbols in my rugs because I miss
home. I feel cut off from my family, my
community, and my culture, so I keep
returning to these motifs as a space of
comfort. Like I mentioned earlier, rug
making is a medium that I’ve maintained
as strictly for me, and for fun, and so I feel
freer to just make things that are more
visually driven rather than conceptually
driven. I’m allowing myself to be more
self-indulgent and make things that I
want to make, even if it’s just copying the
design of a white rabbit candy wrapper.
But I will definitely say that there is
something comforting about filling my
living space with so! symbols that remind
me of home.
