Almost Collapsing Balance
临 界 之 躯 (2020 - Ongoing)
身体与平衡是艺术家在《临界之躯》中持续关注的母题。受启于过往习得的木偶制作技术，尤其是关节间的连接和制衡，艺术家得以复现具有强烈张力的日常瞬间。这些作品或接近倒塌，或受强压，或追逐、纠缠，它们皆处于失衡的边缘，临近身体的极限。艺术家持续探索用物理极限的方式表现心灵的临界点，亦进一步思索我们如何平衡自身内部的矛盾，个人与周遭的冲突。
The artist channels her experience of making and
performing with marionettes into her sculptures to encompass flexible joints
and detachable appendages. Mechanical limits between the joints incarnate
a critical state of the mind, granting the sculptures a balanced structure and
a static momentum.
︎02 - Almost Hysterical 几近癔狂
Almost hysterical attempts to depict a subtle state where the extreme emotion is
almost uncontrollable. The form of arch - the torso of this work - is Inspired by
a clinical graphite depicting the hysteria syndrome by Richer Paul, an anatomist
in the late 19th century. The head of the piece looks like a screaming tonsil,
while the legs fold to the extreme with their tiptoes slightly touching the
ground. The neck and hip are supported by stainless steel railing. The tiny
tiptoes provide just the right amount of support from the ground for the piece
to stand on its own. However, given the extreme bend of the torso, such balance
is fragile and easy to fall apart.
《几近癔狂》尝试表现一种难以控制的强烈情绪表。受19世纪末解剖学家Richer Paul对歇斯底里症的临床研究绘画的启发，我将作品的身躯处理成弧形。头部被表现为尖叫时咽喉内部的形态。双腿被弯折至极限并轻触地面。脖子、臀部受不锈钢栏杆支撑。作品的整体从而形成了一种自我支撑的平衡。
