A textile language in metal

Chinese artist Yanhui Xu creates fibre sculptures inspired by traditional Chinese weaving techniques that she has adapted to metal wire. During the live demonstration at Homo Faber 2026, Yanhui will reveal the intricate process used to construct her sculptures by crocheting and weaving metal wire, offering insight into works that can require thousands of metres of material and hundreds of hours to complete.
