Artist Statement 3

People and plants are part of nature. Through the exploration of the connection between humans and plants, perhaps we can see ourselves more clearly. My works mainly focus on the relationship between humans and plants. At first, what attracted me to plants was that they gave me a comfortable and natural feeling. So I began to ask why I was so dependent on plants? In my opinion, although it plays an irreplaceable role in our life, plants are often overlooked. On the one hand, people rely on plants to survive, on the other hand, human beings arbitrarily transform and destroy plants, resulting in the reduction of plant species and environmental pollution and many other problems.

​

In terms of materials, I mainly use cloth, cotton and some soft materials to create. I think these soft materials can soothe people's hearts, just as plants bring me a sense of intimacy. At the same time, I exaggerated the shape of my plants to show the changes of modern life to plants, thus attracting people pay attention to these plants.

​

In unit 3, I continued the sculpture of plant image in units 1 and 2, using second-hand clothing as the main material, and began to seek changes and breakthroughs in the way of exhibition. In the meantime, I was influenced by artists such as ÉlodieAntoine, Tamara kostianovsky, Sheila Hicks and so on. They gave me a lot of inspiration.
