Older Work, Experiments, and Juvenilia

The peripheral works in this section sit outside Xie's core practice and are not representative of her current craft. They are shown for context, vary in approach and finish, and are not presently offered for exhibition or press; please refer to the principal works instead. Information here is archival, and because platforms and browsers change, functionality may vary.
