gauze, yarn and screen cloth

My research project investigates the relationship between fiber art and Chinese ink painting in contemporary art practice. My research aims to use fiber material to express ink painting in order to apply the change of aesthetic and give tradition a new order. My studies focus on how to use contemporary-artistic imitation of traditional Chinese painting with composite materials. My work inspires by Xu Bing’s Background Story and Qi Baishi’s ink paintings, using gauze, yarn and screen cloth to reconstruct elements in traditional ink paintings and also add new elements in it. By expanding the size and displaying my work in a contemporary manner, I change the original visual experience of audience looking at traditional ink painting.
