The artist refers to the lived environment. By the installation of the planar and configurational combination of arcs and grids in painting and sculpture respectively, the two architectural elements thus become interpenetrative. “Arc”offers a coherent cluster of experiences and mixed feelings about crossing and in-betweeness. She conducts a clinical analysis of architecture, sculpture, and site in the city for the preparation of specimen, commencing on the anatomy of public space. For this reason, she abstracts the geometric construction and rhythmic utterance from within, meanwhile seizing the skin features of specific objects to satisfy the need of ornament. Ornament is not primarily something by itself that is later applied to something else but belongs to self-presentation.
艺术家根据⾃身居住环境,分别在绘画与雕塑中编入弧形与⽹格的平⾯以及造型组合,使得两种建筑元素相互渗透。《弧线》(Arc)提供了有关跨越与游移的经验及复杂感受。艺术家针对城市中的建筑、雕塑与场所展开临床分析,着⼿公共空间的形态研究。因此,她提取其中的几何结构与节奏表达,同时抓住特定对象的表⽪特征,满⾜装饰的需要。装饰并⾮独⾃存在⽽被强加于其他事物的东⻄,⽽是⽤于⾃我展现。
