The Longest Line

Teri Kym Wang

Summary

Final work

Teri is a designer and art director with a focus on visual communication, data visualisation and production.

She currently holds a strong interest in how traditional practices evolve in the digital age, often integrating rich, historical, and people-centred research as the propeller of projects. She sees digital spaces as a living landscape for merging classic branding and advertising with contemporary storytelling and placemaking.

The Longest Line is a data-driven textile artwork exploring waiting and emotional endurance within NHS A&E departments. It translates the often-invisible systems of triage, time, and care into a tactile visual language.

Drawing from observational data, personal stories, and NHS emergency care structures, the work captures two perspectives: The clinical productivity of doctors and nurses, and the emotional journeys of patients. Vertical weavings map staff rotas; horizontal knits embody patient experiences.

These interlocked threads form a 24-hour portrait of time—where emotion is suspended, labour is continuous, and people are quietly held in place.

Created in collaboration with Savannah Berry ( @dearbleasby )

Final work

The Line Grows Longer

The website is an accompaniment to the textile, holding the data stories which form the piece. It is a living archive of experiences, both past and recent, of waiting at the NHS A&E Department. Behind every piece of data is someone’s story. In this particular environment, emotions run high and time stretches depending on whether you are waiting or being waited for. Here, numbers carry the weight of lived experience, with written dialogues taken directly from the data collection. Visit longestline.cargo.site .
