My work manifests my imagination in a series of landscapes from different perspectives. I work with wool and acrylic and apply oil paint with palette knives. In the former technique I mix woollen threads with paint, leaving traces on the canvas as brush and of myself as part of the works. In the latter technique I experimented with different colours to produce a series of vibrant small scale works that aim to chart the changing weather. With both techniques I explore the intersection between abstraction and representation in the landscape, intuitively and freely. Inspired by the external world and my cultural Taiwanese background, my practice reflects on the complex relationship between nature and culture. Mountains, sea, sky and people from different cultures with different thoughts merge in the world we live in. As one of the tiny fragments living in this world, I feel that I have to develop my own way to express my experience through art forms. Led by my investigation and driven by the passion to create, I focused on embodying my internal spirit outwards through terrain-like forms. My paintings aim to form a unique aesthetic flux which is capable of traveling back and forth between reality and fantasy.
