Artist Statement

Woolscape: Boundary & Scalability. As you can see, I am an artist writing a diary on canvas every day. I keep recording everyday life by drawing lines to form "Woolscape" just like writing a novel. The process of my art begins with a diary called finding Self-identity, however, the act of drawing lines not only harbors oriental philosophy of Zen and color but also implies a process of discipline.
The concept of work. In the process of drawing woven cloths strand by strand, viewers can read the structure of modern society. Focusing on what it means to be an individual in a grouping society, the form of a strand, the minimum unit, does not stand out. It is just a part of larger clothing. However, the way strands are unwoven, tied, entangled, and embracing each other suggest a way of life in our society.
Like a sweater made up of small strands that warm people, small roles of individuals that might seem trivial, perhaps, form the grand identity of our society, making progress towards the brighter future.
