My practice is often just a record. Recording my process in this time change is also a way of emotional output. These elements come from our subconscious mind, dreams, experience, or the aura of closing our eyes. They will guide us to make choices unconsciously.
The Shortest Day is a handmade book. The work discusses the impermanence of
time on people, with the change of colour, and people are powerless under the
motion of time as we experience it daily.
Memories and imagination are our systems of meaning built to resist nature it
seems. The book offers a slow read, and glimpses of signification and something
fearful perhaps.
The principle of aquatint is to change the thickness of the copper plate and thus change the tone. This method is determined by the aquatint. When I repeatedly scrape and carve on the copper plate with tools, an image constantly generates and dissolves. I experience the disappearance in the process of scraping and carving, and struggle in whether it is effective. At the same time, I enter my own world and become its architect and arbiter, breaking through the void and nothingness.
