Jiashun Zhou Weaves Memory and Identity into Fiber Art

Jiashun Zhou, born in Hangzhou, China, uses weaving and screen printing to explore how spaces hold memory and shape identity. His work focuses on overlooked architectural elements like hallways, doors, and corridors, treating them as sites of emotional resonance. Influenced by traditional Chinese gardens, his practice emphasizes gradual unfolding and patience. A key piece, "Hallway" from his Space Series, reconstructs a building entrance using a floor loom with cotton and synthetic yarn. Zhou's process is meditative and repetitive, combining weaving with sketching and photography. He plans to expand the Space Series into an immersive installation reconstructing parts of a home, allowing viewers to navigate the woven environment.
