Through a creative process consisting of devouring food, this study transforms ruminations into text after chewing and crushing to put forward a discussion. The creative discourse covers strong personal emotions, yet it does not consist of just a low mumbling to oneself. That line connecting viewers is never broken, yet it serves as more than just a link between two endpoints. Through the possibilities contained with the text of the discourse, the readable linearity able to be drawn from the work enables people to sew together the flakes of imagination. The act of folding produces two surfaces and a virtually existing line, which are traces that cannot be removed. These “traces” eventually become a fracture-less base point that can open a dialogue between two points that describes the conditions of these traces that exist in relation to the times and the self. With traditional media as an artistic creation, how can a connection with the era in which one exists be relaunched, while also not uprooting and eliminating the context and lineage inherited? Using a straightforward body for grafting, the long period of suppression and irritability become an obstacle to collision, yet without ever hoping for being soothed or wiped out. After all, it always exists and cannot be removed. If one were to use the amount seen by ink and brush, or by form to create a scroll, the screen would seem comparable “like’ ink in its viewing. Though “Sins Within the Illusions of Ink” carries a sense of accusation, that could also perhaps be viewed as a type of “cry”. With a seeming condition of guilt to propose an expectation of amazing wonder, this serves as the starting point to enter the era of globalization. The titles of the three series, “Laminated Film”, “Daily Scars”, and “Gong Di Ju” correspond to the proposal of ink in contemporary times. First of all, in terms of the silk scroll, individual emotions are covered through lyricism and depictions of imagery, drawing out the fluorescent light halos from industrial products, and using ink lines to depict a conflicting yet harmonious connection. Second, the extension of the “thin film” core of silk scroll works are mounted on paper and rubbed against the fibers to form a thin condition. A new narrative is achieved by the possibilities of an experimental foundation of materials, and not with the method of drawing. In this way, the emphasized lines of the brush serve as the main composition, and a series of connected perceptual experiences, infiltration, penetration, and linear traces are mounted layer upon layer to create a laminated effect. Then, after a process of fiber rubbing across these mounted layers, those remaining fragments become a thin film, sealing up a dream- and illusory-like raving. Finally, objects of the site become carriers, and concrete is converted into a painting materials to conduct the image and connect to the form. The objective for using different routes to achieve the same goal is not to break from tradition. Conversely, this is done in the hopes of making the immovable “roots” amongst the torrent of time serve as an endpoint to extend the branch. At the same time, using colliding yet unbreakable works, and then integrating discourse and description, the various details of the depiction are cast amongst emotions.
