My work is to explore the relationship between people and plants with plants as the carrier. In my life, there has always been the shadow of plants, such as the garden in my childhood memory home, I will collect plants mixed with books, as well as the education of Chinese culture from childhood and so on. I started to formally create plants in 2014, mainly focusing on painting. After coming to London, I subjectively began to have a variety of media attempts. I tried to make some new breakthroughs and attempts in materials, and I began to be more interested in using collage and sculpture to express this theme. In the first unit, I made some small collages and models about the garden. In my opinion, people can't leave the city, but they need a spiritual sustenance. The garden of the city becomes the habitat of the spirit.
I will be in unit 2, I will be specific to the relationship between people and plants in the indoor environment. The relationship between human beings and family plants is a relationship of dependence and care. Plants can arouse a kind of sympathy. In terms of materials, I chose cloth collage. As described by Magdalena Abakanowicz, a Polish Artist: "fabric is our covering and our attire. Made with our hands, it is a record of our souls.". This kind of temperature is also what I like to convey to the audience. People and plants are interdependent, and plants can comfort people's hearts.

UNIT 2
Life Drawing
There is a body painting class every Monday. Whenever I have time, I will take part in it. Each sketch teacher has a different theme. In my opinion, it's a good opportunity to train feeling and observation.
I remember in the first section, the teacher briefly introduced the history of human body sketching, and then waited for the model to pose. The teacher didn't let us draw immediately, but let us put down the pen and paper in our hands and let us do the same posture as the model. She said there was a kind of memory called "muscle memory.". So that our muscles can remember the pose and draw easily. She encouraged us to create our own paintings, which can be imagined or even described in words. It makes me feel special.
