Heritage Bears
Handmade bears made with traditional Dong lustrous cloth,
exploring regional textiles and the memory of place.
Wawa Bears
Wawa Bears is an ongoing project by Jidanwawa,
where a doll maker explores fabric through the familiar form of a bear.
Different textiles, textures, and techniques give each bear a different character.
From traditional brocades and regional textiles to fabrics found in everyday life,
each bear begins with the cloth itself.
