“Jacqueline Qiu’s work incorporates textile techniques and natural materials to blend Eastern and Western traditions, turning personal reflections into tactile, woven landscapes. Jacqueline completed the Ós Residency at the Icelandic Textile Center, where she did this project, ‘Lulling.’ It’s definitely related to her interest in landscapes and nature.
“She’s currently in The Here and There residency and just had an open studio. She was telling me how when she’s on the loom, she has a rough idea of what she wants to do, but she’s kind of always figuring it out as she goes. I’m just really intrigued by the materiality of the work because I do see a lot of textile works, but there’s something about this that feels really painterly to me. I like her direction, and I’m really interested to see what else she does.”
