Artist profile and practice notes
Xinru is an illustration student whose practice moves between drawing, stitched surfaces, printed fragments, character-led object making, and small-scale sculptural experiments.
Her work often begins with sketches, collected scraps, fabric offcuts, and small narrative motifs before shifting into more finished pieces for pages, walls, shelves, and editions. The studio shop grows out of the same practice, treating objects and limited pieces as another way for images to circulate.

Artist statement
Placeholder: The work is interested in how drawing can become tactile through cloth, stitch, relief, and portable object forms. Small archives, found materials, and slightly awkward handmade structures are used to hold memory, humour, and tenderness.
