Interior textile and paper sculpture installation assemblage.
Inspiration from "Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shan Hai Jing)".
In Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shan Hai Jing), when recording a brand-new animal, the appearance of known animals is often used for analogy. This description led reads of later generations to impose the characteristics of known animals together to reproduce this new animal, and finally producing an image that does not resemble any animal.
This analogical description of analogy between strange animals and known animals inspired me. I imagine that if there is no reproductive isolation, whether the creatures on the earth can interweave of different species, just like this painting method.
In Classic of Mountains and Seas, animals are divided into groups according to their living environment. I combine this method with modern science to divide animals with the same ecologies on land into seven ecological geographical groups. I imagined that the animals in the neighboring geographical group would combine to produce new creatures, and I drew a pattern of six different plants and animals.
Combines interior textiles and paper sculptures into an integrated spatial furnishing. Patterns from interior textiles are applied to screens, pillows, cushions and fans.
The content of each of the 6 images is drawn as 4 layers of silhouettes and laser engraved on paper. The different layers are spaced apart to create a three-dimensional pattern. The effect of the layers is visually progressive. The final result is a paper sculpture lamp.
