With this new series of textile work “I Want To Be A Brave Rat”, I explore combining multiple textile techniques such as felting, knitting, tufting, and embroidery to tell stories that raise awareness about the notion of women’s work in Taiwanese society. As a twenty-five year old Taiwanese woman, I have been inspired by a traditional story that also gives its title to my project. In Taiwanese society it is commonly considered that life requires marriage to be complete, and is therefore empty for a woman who never has children. I want to use my own voice to talk about gender roles and gender inequality problems in Taiwan from my personal experience and observations. Bringing the domestic ideas into my textile work to raise the issue not only happening in my life but also around the world.
