Po-Chieh Chiu

Taiwanese, Born 11th July 1995

I’M A TRAVELLER, WEARING MY BACKGROUND

This collection is about Po-Chieh in a dilemma between his dreams and his familial expectations. He describes himself as a traveller, wandering between the city where he lives and his hometown Shetou. Using computer knitting software he created his own patterns and designs to symbolize the bricks and concrete. To make it even more realistic he arranged the knitted panels into a staggered layout, and then blended them with woolen fabrics using a felting process to create a unified fabric.
