| STATEMENT OF ART: Songlan Wu is a New York-based sustainable fashion designer and textile artist whose work transcends traditional boundaries. Using a diverse array of materials—including up cycled fabric, yarns, beads, and canvas—Songlan employs techniques such as crochet, needle felting, knitting, weaving, pattern making, draping, and embroidery to create intricate shapes and silhouettes. Her art delves into the sophisticated connections between humanity and the natural world, reflecting a commitment to reducing waste and reusing materials. By inviting viewers to explore emotions tied to memory and nostalgia, Songlan seeks to evoke a sense of introspection, imagination, and peace, celebrating the beauty and philosophy found in both nature and personal experiences.
