In her compelling textile series "Controversial Romance," Yiling Wu combines her cultural heritage with her life experiences in the diaspora. Her artwork, deeply rooted in treasured memories and fantasies from her former home, now engages with the challenges she faces in London. Yiling pushes beyond traditional digital embroidery by integrating innovation with repetition, incorporating laser-cut textures into her materials and thus expanding the possibilities of her craft. She skillfully melds heritage with modern techniques, capturing the subtle interaction between the past and present. Her narrative, embedded within her textiles, reflects the variety of life and celebrates the ongoing dialogue between the old-world allure and the new-world creativity of embroidery.
Yiling finds motivation in the splendour of nature, cultural customs, and pertinent social issues. Her artistic endeavours focus on extending the limits of 2D and 3D embroidery. She commits to exploring various techniques, merging different materials, digital embroidery skills, and hand-beading methods to establish her unique embroidery style.
Yiling's pieces represent a conceptual and minimalist approach, offering insights into her distinctive worldview and vivid imagination, intricately interwoven into her embroidery. Each stitch conveys her deep ambitions and strives to ensure that "Embroidery should be one-of-a-kind." She delights in creating unique embroidery pieces, each marked by individuality and elaborate details, instead of producing repetitive works.
在她引人入勝的紡織系列「爭議的浪漫」中，Yiling Wu 將她的文化遺產與她在散居生活中的經歷相結合。她的藝術作品深深植根於她以前家中珍貴的記憶和幻想，現在與她在倫敦面臨的挑戰相交。Yiling超越了傳統的數位刺繡，透過整合創新與重複，將雷射切割紋理融入她的材料，從而擴展了她的手藝可能性。她巧妙地融合了傳統與現代技術，捕捉了過去與現在的微妙互動。她的敘事融入了她的紡織品中，反映了生活的多樣性，並慶祝了刺繡在舊世界魅力與新世界創造力之間的持續對話。
Yiling從大自然的美麗、文化習俗和緊迫的社會議題中尋找靈感。她的藝術努力專注於拓展2D和3D刺繡的界限。她致力於探索各種技術，結合不同的材料、數位刺繡技能和手工串珠方法，以建立她獨特的刺繡風格。
她的作品代表了一種概念性和簡約的方法，提供了對她獨特的世界觀和生動的想像力的洞察，這些都巧妙地編織在她的刺繡中。每一針都傳達了她的深遠志向，並努力確保「刺繡應該是獨一無二的」。她喜歡創作獨特的刺繡作品，每件作品都具有其個性和複雜的細節，而不是生產重複的作品。
