Zara Lau 1015 Malloch Rd., Victoria, BC (Metchosin) 250-474-1957 • Email: zlau@stinkingfishstudiotour.com Zara has loved working with fabric since childhood. Combining her passion for color and drawing on inspirations from nature, she “paints” her pictures with pieces of carefully chosen fabric bonded together, often incorporating intricate details. Not having been formally trained in the arts, she has given herself complete liberty to interpret and create what she considers beautiful and pleasing. Each completed piece is framed with the majority also matted. Intrigued by the ancient Chinese knot tying techniques, Zara has taught herself to recreate the various knots that the Chinese have worn or adorned their homes with for centuries. Her highly wearable jewelry using “rattail” cord and featuring a variety of individually hand-tied Chinese knots are often accented with various types of beads. Chinese knots are decorative knots that are usually double-layered and symmetrical, and usually have one or more cords entering from the top of the knot and leaving from the bottom. Chinese Knots can range from simple knots, to larger intricate knotted patterns. click to enlarge
