About

Xiaotong (Elissa) is a London-based Chinese-Mongolian knitted textile artist, who explores identity fluidity and cultural hybridity in the context of globalisation and modernisation through knitting. Her work aims to ​investigate the complex relationship between time, place, environment and the changeable, protean concept of belonging and identity through the lens of craft and textiles, generating the interplay between globalisation and identity embedded in craft and creating new narratives through knitting practice.
