Liu's work may have Chinese features but they are not overt, and are distinctive to her, whereas some Chinese designers stick to old tropes and old tried designs.
Liu talked of "language" in her works. What is or was highly prized in China does not translate to something that can gain global appreciation.
Liu's works, those spoken about above, and her earlier works, have brought her closer to the international world as a mouthpiece between aspiring Chinese artists and designers, and the London and European markets.
Liu is due to give a speech on the subject in Beijing before coming back to the UK and exhibiting her pieces at the Henley Festival where she has been invited by Reading Ever Culture Company to bring together other Chinese artists and designers with the UK and Western worlds.
Liu will be exhibiting "mending" and other works at the Henley Festival from July 8 to 12.
