It is what she calls a melded photograph, which means Wen started taking photographs of her own work and melded those together with more photographs of her painted fabric. It is entirely quilted with free conscious like a poem. Wen liked the idea of not outlining the actual objects, but bringing it to life graphically with free motion quilting.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Statement 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cem\u003e\"I create, and the piece responds. A dialogue is started until the piece is finished, each work becomes an obsession, time is condensed, becomes almost irrelevant. I don't keep hours, I 'work' all the time, to say how long any one-piece takes is very difficult. The simple mechanics of a piece can take several months but the conception, the idea, is very hard to capture. It is the germ, the heart of the process. It's why I do it.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSAQA Statement\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cem\u003e\"I take myself out: into the woods, by the ocean, or by a lake, and have a conversation—a connection.
