手工簇絨掛毯

The grand tapestries displayed in UK royal courts and museums profoundly inspired me. Their monumental size and exquisite textures led me to explore the interplay between visual texture, narrative content, and physical scale—how these elements collectively shape perception and emotional resonance.
During my UK exchange, I read Sianne Ngai's “The Cuteness of the Avant-Garde”. The concept of "cuteness" fascinates me—how it simultaneously evokes sympathy and tenderness, yet provokes an almost aggressive impulse to interact (like the urge to squeeze a cute animal, or in my case, to touch—even vigorously rub—a soft tapestry's surface). This tension between attraction and latent violence became the core theme of my work.
The use of hand-tufted tapestries emphasize softness and tactility through rounded "cute" aesthetics. Yet their massive scale and melancholic undertones create striking contrasts. The tension between the inviting texture, monumental visual impact, and somber narrative produces an emotional complexity—blending epic grandeur with intimacy, fate with fragility.
Like the cat in my work that can't hold onto Miss Cherry, a desire forever just beyond reach. The artworks inherently resist touch, though their plush surfaces invite tactile aggression, they remain untouchable behind exhibition boundaries. These contradictions—between softness and restraint, cuteness and sorrow, accessibility and distance—form my central exploration, challenging viewers' expectations to evoke deeper, more nuanced responses.
英國皇室宮廷與博物館中宏偉的掛毯深深啟發了我。它們巨大的尺寸與精緻的質感，促使我探索視覺肌理、故事內容與物理大小之間的相互作用——這些元素如何共同塑造觀者的感知與情感共鳴。
在英國exchange期間，我讀了Sianne Ngai的《前衛的可愛性》。「可愛」的概念令我著迷——它如何同時喚起同情與溫柔，卻又激發某種近乎侵略性的互動衝動（就像人們想捏擠可愛動物的衝動，或在我的作品中，想觸摸——甚至用力摩擦柔軟掛毯表面的慾望）。這種吸引力與潛在暴力之間的對立和矛盾，成為我創作的核心主題。
我以手工簇絨掛毯強調柔軟度與觸感，同時在圖像上採用圓潤的「可愛」美學。然而，作品的巨大尺幅與內容中憂鬱的基調形成反差。這種誘人的質地、 大尺寸的視覺震撼，與陰鬱敘事之間的張力，創造出一種揉合史詩與私密、命運與脆弱的複雜情感。
正如我作品中那隻留不住櫻桃小姐的貓，那份渴望始終咫尺天涯。藝術品本就不可觸碰，儘管表面蓬鬆誘人侵略，它們卻被展示的界線所保護，維持著不可侵犯的狀態。正是這些矛盾——柔軟與克制、可愛與哀傷、可及與距離——成為我探索的重點，挑戰觀者的預期，喚起更深層、更豐富的回應。
