One day I was walking by the Hong Kong Arts Centre and decided I needed to do a course in painting. I ended up doing a bachelor course in fine arts. That spurred me to quit working and to become an artist. I started my knitting projects in 2004: they were inspired from my first project called Measuring Myself: 139 books from my bookshelf occurred to form my height (150cm) – it was how my relationship with books and the body started.

Like a magnet, knitting brings everyone together, creating a journey for audiences to experience different ways of life though the conversations that happen during the process.
