Older Works, Experiments, and Sketches
The peripheral works in this section sit outside Xie's core practice, and are not representative of her current craft. They’re shown here for context, and may vary in approach and level of finish. Information is archival and may not be regularly updated. Because platforms and browsers change, functionality may vary; documentation is provided as-is.
