Most of the ethnic groups in southwest China believe that we humans are an integral part of the cosmos, a view of the universe that can be traced back to the ancient Chinese civilization thousands years ago. They believe in the existence of divinities and express their faith through wearing their traditional garments in the modern society. The Yi ethnic groups embroidered on their clothes the original patterns of the mystical he-tu and luo-shu diagrams, holograms of the structure of the universe which are believed to be bestowed by God and handed down from before this civilization around 5500 years ago. The Miao ethnic groups dressed up in clothes embroidered with deities and divinities when they were in ceremonies worshiping the heavens and the gods, maintaining harmony between Man and Nature.

薩 滿 之 路
「薩滿」saman來自滿語及其他通古斯語族語言。在通古斯語中是「智者」、「曉徹」的意思,且意指有能力進入入神狀態,並能與神溝通之人。

紡織
紡織,是由“紡”和“織”兩個部分組成的。而事實上,從一根纖維到一塊布料,這中間要有幾十道工序,絕非易事。中國古人真是智慧,用習武讀書來歷練男孩,用女紅紡織來歷練女孩。這真真是一個修心的過程。

織布?演奏?編程?
我的織布老師Hilde一開始就告誡我:
如果你想織出複雜的圖案,數學一定要好.
後來我瞭解了這句話的深意:織布的背後是一堆數字程序。每一次穿梭,就是指尖和一堆數字密碼的舞蹈。爲了確保每一次穿梭不出差錯,我必須保持足夠的清醒,深呼吸几口氣,移動一下讀卡板,再尋找對應的踏板,踩下去、然後穿梭送綫,然後再移動讀卡板,看下一組數字,尋找另一組踏板......


手織外套:哈拉帕
材質:Organic Katiya Ghicha silk yarn,
Organic Charka cotton ,亞麻,銀扣子
這些絲綫來自印度的森林,是野生的蠶繭,沒有人工剝離,所以意味著這是和平方式的采摘。印度南部的婦女們手工紡的絲綫。這些傳統的素材編織在一起,讓我想到了久遠的哈拉帕。
