“THE SHELL.”

Alive on both sides( out/inner).The amazing structure of mollusc life, soft and delicate( material selection), with “treasure”, etc. If the shell is close: a safe feeling for a closed life( like right now), if the shell is open, the inner world will be vulnerable ( this idea fits my basic theme of happiness and anxiety.)

 Installation and sculpture

Difference: these are two different ways of thinking. -1. Buying ready-made products, trying repeatedly, searching is the most difficult process. Comprehensive material installation creation -Sculpture created by myself. My thinking: merge these two different ideas.

How to evoke interaction?

About "fragile."

1. After I expanded the basic theme of human emotion about happiness and anxiety, and the idea of ​​disillusionment, the concept of personal security appeared. The lack of personal security can help me define the overall sculpture, the choice of materials for the installation, and the fragile and complicated materials and structures. "Shaky" and "Fragmented". . .

2. In what state will these "shaky" objects be? Fully exposed vulnerability or a combination? Will there be protection? I think there will be some combination to create a strong and fragile contrast? Or pure fragility. (For example, a chair covered by the structure of dragonfly wings / An egg/bloom in the crack of the rock / A Bible and the hair in the plaster ...)

My progress.

Other’s work

3. Considering that all works are exposed to the exhibition, they will be easily destroyed. I am thinking that some parts will be protected. The concept of a protective cover can also be given a "sense of security." Other parts of the fragile structure of the installation, if they are damaged during the exhibition process which will also be part of the work. (The damage in time) The meaning of this destruction can be consistent with the advent and superposition of the anxiety of the theme. (But what I need to consider is, can the visual effects of this destroyed part be used?)

About subconscious expectations

1. Private space and corresponding subconscious behavior (unaccepted); open space and relative subconscious behavior (accepted). Keywords: private behaviors + public behaviors.

2. The contrast between private space and public space is actually a reflection of human behaviors.

3. It is contradictory and unacceptable to do things that are not expected in an open space and things that can only be done in a private space-making love, bathing, striptease. What to expect to do in open space, what (only?)to do in open area. Public space does not belong to anyone, the park does not belong to anyone, so there will be rules. (It will be more interesting to combine these contradictory behaviors with vision.)

Thinking more: This witch is alive, giving people private individuals in public spaces? This is actually contradictory. Her behavior, the behavior of people in her body, all have to be considered.

Responses.

Tangent:

The concept of dreams is more intense, and the deliberately arranged maze layout is more interesting. 

But I don't think you must be limited to the Katsura Imperial Villa from Japan (类似于苏州园林;"garden" layout.(???????????????????????????????????? what what what why why why) You can be even more crazy, confusion and disorder is not a bad thing. Your illustrations are very surreal and intertwined, and you don’t have to force them into a formal, rationally planned order. But I admire the method of suspension you mentioned, the objects and images linked together in sky and ground. I recommend that you think about more intense placements such as staggered spider webs, etc. 

Xihao:

The concept is very powerful and attractive! And incredible skills!

There are some questions: 

1. Via the video the character of mom is separated with the artificial uterus no exact physical connections. Why? It just for video or in exhibition there will be a character? Will “she” has certain artificial figures on her body connect with the uterus, or just totally separate?  Do you want to create a state where the uterus is completely detached from the mother, or do you want to convey that the uterus is still connected to the mother even if it is not inside the mother?

2. And then，what is the meaning for those subtle touching behaviors? If it not meaning anything just for “display” please don’t do that... If it indeed associated with your concept, what is it? Mother's attachment and unwillingness to the fetus?

Shi: 

Surveillance cameras and sound ideas give this work more possibilities and more open space. You can refer to the works of SARA SZE, the combination of sculpture and video which displaying in a space will become a perfect spatial installation.

NEW MATERIALS

1. Space. Specific space size and layout. Regarding size, I look forward to 6-10 square meters. My idea has always been that the space in the space is somewhat park-like, but scattered, “put.” Now I’m thinking about creating something that has the main object, because of the limitations of the space and the experience of the viewer’s course of action. The main object communicates the content better.

2.Private & Public. Walking into the witch’s body is a private act, but the inner park environment is absolutely public, which is somewhat contradictory. So what’s the point of this private open space? Share it? guide? Everyone is welcome to define this space, not me to define it. Guide public awareness.

3. Subconscious Awareness. People already know about the park, what most parks look like, what people do in the park, what people expect to happen in the park. Should I obey these expectations or refute them? Things that never happen in a park: for example, taking a shower? (But can jump into the lake)… Must (only) happen in the park, picnic, kite flying… Consideration of this issue can enrich the content of this story, and the choice of materials.

4.Narrative.

I do worry about multimedia: too much, and I can’t abandon such a creative model. I found the narrative focus. I realized that any form of media is nothing more than the different characters and content in the story, and these sculptures, paintings, and video content are all related.
