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.
︎03 - Hesitaion 犹疑
This work
presents a slim female body. The bending torso, along with with its limbs, creates
an architectural space connected to the ground. Held and protected by a
tentacle, the flesh-toned vacuum ballonet hangs from the body rests at the
center of the void. The sharp tip of that particular tentacle, made from ruby
stone, implies blood and violence to come, while the antenna lightly pokes the
surface of the ballonet as if it is about to pierce through. The work depicts a
suspended moment when people have to face ideas or situations that they are unfamiliar
with or uncertain whether to keep up with.
作品表现了一个纤细的女性躯体。她的躯干
如动物般弯曲,同肢体、地面共同构筑了如建筑般的空间。一个肉色中空的气囊从其胸口向下垂坠, 由一只触角支撑和保护。但其顶端由红宝石制作的指尖却暗示了或将发生的血腥和暴力。我想用《犹疑》来表现人面对滋生于自身不寻常物质或观念时,决定是否与之共处的犹豫。
