Quilted Planes, a 24’ x 6’ suspended sculpture for the National Geographic Society in Washington DC. This evolution of my Twisted Planes works involved using ropes donated by National Geographic explorers, such as Conrad Anker. These ropes lived through Arctic expeditions, swung from the Amazon jungle canopy, and descended into live volcanoes. It was an honor to use materials representative of not only NatGeo’s mission, but our common human desire, to explore the wonders of our world.

Wescover creator since 2018
Windy Chien makes art that activates space and crafts objects that elevate the daily rituals of life. She is best known for her 2016 work, The Year Of Knots, in which she learned a new knot every day for a year. Her work ranges in size from a knot that can fit in the palm of a child’s hand to majestic, room-sized installations that are sought after by private collectors. Following long careers at Apple and in the music industry, she launched her studio in 2015. Her work has been covered by Wired, The New York Times and Martha Stewart. In 2017, Facebook acquired an edition of The Year of Knots. Windy’s book about her work will be published by Abrams in 2019.
