关于艺术家 About the Artist

1998年生于中国河北。目前正试图在河北生活并完成澳大利亚莫纳什大学视觉艺术与中学教育的学士学位。

艺术家在创作中关注的是物体、非人的存在、是那些几乎看不见的、不被注意的、幽灵般的、边缘的或者是被忽略的东西。“看” 是她创作很重要的一部分。她会好奇的去观察事物而不是去分析它们，不会去刻意寻找事物任何概念上、文化上或者是符号上的意义。通过单纯的看，周围的事物会告诉她要做什么。它们通过作者来说话。但是作者和事物的交流永远不是某一方的独白，而更像是对话。有时她会发现它们在帮她说话，但从不会是反向的。作者不会从自主的观点出发让事物为她所用，她的创作总是由外向内的。”

Born in Hebei, China, in 1998. Trying to live in Hebei while completing a bachelor’s degree in visual art and secondary education at Monash University, Australia.

The artist is concerned with objects, the non-human beings, the barely visibles, those that go unnoticed, ghostly, in between, or left out. Looking is an important part of her making, and she looks curiously instead of analytically. The artist doesn’t look for conceptual, cultural, or symbolic meanings behind things. Through just purely looking, things around her tell her what to make, they speak through her. It’s never a monologue, but a dialogue with those otherwise silenced entities. Sometimes the artist finds them speaking for her, but it’s never the other way around. It’s always from the outside in.
