She has drawn upon patterns from all kinds of traditional Chinese motifs, from brass tripods of the Warring States Period to Han and T'ang dynasty paintings to the wall paintings of Tunhuang, and used knot techniques to lay them out, breaking the old limitation that knots are always accessories, never the art form proper.
她取材自中國古代各項傳統圖案，如戰國銅鼎、漢唐畫像、鏡紋、古玉珮飾或敦煌壁畫等，把古代藝術資源又作了結飾上的新運用，讓傳統的結飾，打破了只能作為配飾的角色，而成為兼具平面、立體、自成一格的空間藝術裝飾。
