It was a coincidence that I came into contact with this material. It was probably in 2009. I saw a group of works by Japanese teachers on the Internet. I thought it was amazing at the time. I will buy it and give it a try to study it. After doing an experiment, I found it very interesting, so I started to produce one by one.
[Explanation] This hand-made form made of wool material belongs to a relatively niche category in China. When first contacted, Yin Yue could only think about it by himself. From materials to color matching, from composition to production, she relies on enthusiasm and perseverance to pinpoint her fairy tale world. So far, Yin Yue has created hundreds of wool fiber works, most of which are based on animals and plants. The "White" series is one of her favorite works.

"White" has three works so far, namely "cowardice of elephants", "transmutation of cats" and "peace of deer". This work is one of them, called "The Cat's Metamorphosis". The split head on its side actually reflects my state of wanting to make myself sharper and sharper.
【Explanation】Yin Yue's works are lively and lovely, with vivid images and touching emotions, which has nothing to do with her college education experience. Yin Yue graduated from Beijing Film Academy, majoring in computer animation. Professional training has greatly helped her in painting, modeling, design, etc. However, she believes that the biggest difficulty in making works is how to bring the image of "human" and the emotions of "human" into it.

The difficulty in production is actually about how to make something a little more realistic. For example, when I was doing "cowardice of the elephant", because the baby elephant could not actually do this posture, so I wanted to take this Emotions are integrated into it, for example, the elbow joint here, does not have a small bone with a small protrusion, like a person.
【Explanation】Since 2009, Yin Yue has been busy with her closed world. The occupational troubles and economic pressure have made her feel pressured once. She was once evaluated by friends as "out of touch with society", but out of the wool hand She has never given up her love for work. After years of hard work, her work has gradually gained popularity, and she has held solo exhibitions in Tokyo, Beijing and other places.
In 2016, Yin Yue was invited to hold his first solo exhibition in Tokyo, Japan. His works were very popular and sold out. To her surprise, many middle-aged men bought her work.

In China, the little girl just likes it. I might have bought it. I bought some works in Tokyo, but all of them were men. An uncle said that he wanted to put it ("mushroom") in the bedroom, because he saw these 3 works and 3 mushrooms put together, which made him very calm. So he has his own unique insight. He would not laugh at him because others would laugh at him, as if the other would not really laugh at him, because he felt that this was his hobby and respected him like this.
[Commentary] Over the years, Yin Yue has devoted all her energy to the study of wool fiber production. Her works are becoming more and more popular on the Internet, so she often sets up offline events and live broadcast courses, hoping to use her accumulated experience Teach it to more lovers of this technology. In the future, she intends to make some wool felt picture books and continue to weave a beautiful fairy tale world.
