People have different ways to enjoy the pleasures of recollection. I would like to use the prints to record my life. Glance over them at my leisure.
My feeling, experience, thought and passion are expressed by those colors, marks texture in my prints. Harmony and confusion, fine and rough lines are all remained in those fade paper. My understanding to life is also in my prints. It is red, always is red, and never fades. My artworks casually and occasionally record my life's journey.
I am far away from noisy cities; go into the natural world to experience primeval life. Multi- life formation runs its course in the nature. There is no language and characters to record history but an old song or a fairy tale. Any artistic inspiration could come from the nature, such as a strong ox, a mysterious village, a log cabin, a dress with embroidering totem, a vigorous pine tree, a long mountain path. The primeval memory like a drop of water and blood moisten my heart and soul.
Many times I go to wilds and tribe, I see the fighting of animals and the lighting bonfire. I believe it is the nature that deducing the life and death. Red fire stands for life, black earth stands for death. Art is colorful, so it is lively. Our life becomes more meaningful. When wild flowers grow all over the mountain, they make whole mountain looked red. It is the color of life. I see the beauty and simple of the nature. Only red color can express it. Therefore I could keep this red memory deep in my mind. |
