Astrid Li
Mahopac, New York
Yarn on Canvas
Astrid’s works discuss the emotional journey of puzzle-solving and how it relates to creating art. The process involves releasing self-doubts, letting go, and building connections with emotions. Astrid uses keywords like adjectives and characteristics of different eras to integrate messages into her work. She believes that artwork is about connecting the viewer and the artist through an immersive experience that conveys sentiments that are difficult to express through writing. Astrid’s art mainly consists of yarn, textile, and oil paintings, and she enjoys the uncertainty of piecing together diverse materials to create a perfect whole.
