THE UNNAMED WORLD 1
50*50cm | Cotton Yarn | 2023
Art originates from life, but also nature. The inspiration from the natural world has never ceased. Commonplace scenery is radiant due to the passage of time, inaccessible places are fascinating because of the mystery. Human beings cannot live in the ocean, space or underground, however, the creatures and landscapes there are always attractive to us. We yearn for the kind of strange beauty, or maybe we are even more obsessed with the "feeling of yearning" itself. How to reveal the unknown mystery to the known world? How to express abstraction concretely without losing its authenticity?
THE UNNAMED WORLD is a soft sculpture based on embroidery. Materials such as cotton, nylon thread, silk thread, metal thread, and reflective thread are applied. The technique of water-soluble embroidery allows the embroidery to be separated from the attached fabric and maximize its independent display from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. The seamless connection of the embroidery pieces endows the embroidery functionality and unique texture. The speculation about the "unknown" leads to the blackhole centre shape in the sculpture. The layered embroidery pieces imitate the fins of mollusk or wings soaring in the sky, which are reflective subtly in the soft rhythm.
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And intercity in an hour.
I believe that there are endless unknown creatures, and each of them represents a splendid world.
