Work Statement:
Fem.101
这项作品融入了多种女性元素,采用主导的红色调以象征月经周期、女性身形,以及女性成熟的强大而优雅的美。同时,它也是对各种材料进行实验的结果,包括丙烯颜料、记号笔、中国和印度墨水、毛线、玻璃和塑料珠、织物和毛球等。同时在艺术创作过程中,运用了工业喷漆枪、地毯枪、刺绣针等。
This work incorporates a variety of feminine elements, using the dominant red colour palette to symbolise the menstrual cycle, the female figure, and the powerful yet elegant beauty of the maturing woman. It is also the result of experimentation with a variety of materials including acrylic paints, markers, Chinese and Indian inks, woolen threads, glass and plastic beads, fabrics and balls of wool. Also industrial spray paint guns, carpet guns and embroidery needles are used in the art making process.

这件作品探讨了女权主义和性别平等的主题。借鉴了传统的中国绘画颜料、精致的珠饰和破碎的玻璃混合媒体,它生动地描绘了人际关系中的脆弱和破裂,尤其是女性所经历的那些。然而,它也传达了一种坚韧和成长的信息,强调了在逆境中重建和茁壮成长的力量。这件作品作为对性别平等奋斗的深刻反思,邀请观众思考在追求更加公平的世界中,破裂与重生之间的微妙平衡。
This work explores themes of feminism and gender equality. Drawing on traditional Chinese painting pigments, delicate beadwork and broken glass mixed media, it vividly depicts the fragility and breakdown of relationships, particularly those experienced by women. However, it also conveys a message of resilience and growth, emphasising the power of rebuilding and thriving in the face of adversity. This work serves as a profound reflection on the struggle for gender equality, inviting viewers to consider the delicate balance between rupture and rebirth in the quest for a more equitable world.

Absent Gallery 闲聊
Absent Gallery:
How would you describe your creative state??
你会如何讲述自己的创作状态?
Vicki:
在谈及我的创作状态时,我深感满⾜于⽬前的艺术创作状态。我的创作过程通常是随性⽽来,我更倾向于以意识流的⽅式开始,⽽不受制于创作草稿的框架。我的脑⼦⾥漂浮着各种想法,⽽我则扮演着⼀个灵活的“捕捉者”的⻆⾊,需要迅速抓住这些体会,并以独特的视⻆融⼊我的作品中。在我的创作领域⾥,⾃由探索和即兴表达⼀直是我坚持不懈的信仰,也希望我的作品可以成为我的体会的载体更好的传达给观者们。
When it comes to my creative state, I am satisfied that I am in a state of artistic creation at the moment. My creative process is usually spontaneous, and I prefer to start in a stream-of-consciousness way, without being constrained by the framework of a creative draft. Ideas float around in my head and I act as a flexible "catcher", needing to quickly grasp them and incorporate them into my work in a unique way. Self-exploration and improvisation have always been my beliefs in my field of work, and I hope that my work can be a vehicle for my experiences to be better conveyed to the viewers.
Absent Gallery:
What factors have influenced your creation?
请谈谈你的艺术创作受哪些因素影响?
Vicki:
在我的艺术创作中,深刻的灵感更多源⾃我身为⼀位年轻⼥性艺术家的独特体验。这涵盖了我的成⻓经历、⽣活历程、⽂化背景,还有更私⼈的情感和纽带。我视这些都是创作的宝贵原料,巧妙地将它们揉碎,成为我作品中的深层根基。
In my artwork, deep inspiration comes more from my unique experience as a young female artist. This encompasses my personal experiences, my growth, my life, my cultural background, as well as my more personal emotions and bonds. I see these as invaluable raw materials for my work, which I skilfully crumble together to form the deep roots of my work.
Absent Gallery:
What are your upcoming plans or expectations for the artwork?
未来对作品有什么计划或期待?
Vicki:
未来,我计划持续探索多样的材料和创作媒介,保持对艺术创作的持续热情和期待。我期待我的作品可以在观者⼼中留下深刻的印象,并通过我的艺术表达引发不同层次的思考。我希望我的作品能够作为引导观众踏⼊艺术世界的媒介,为他们提供⼀种不同的体验。与此同时,我怀揣着极⼤的期待,希望能够深⼊了解观众从不同⻆度对我的作品的理解和解读。这对我来说是⼀场不断深化艺术与观众互动的挑战与探索。
In the future, I plan to continue to explore a variety of materials and mediums, and to maintain my passion and anticipation for art creation. I hope that my works will leave a deep impression on the viewer's mind and provoke different levels of thinking through my artistic expression. I hope that my work will serve as a medium to guide the viewer into the world of art and provide them with a different kind of experience. At the same time, I have great expectations to learn more about how the audience understands and interprets my works from different angles. It is a challenge for me to deepen the interaction between art and audience.
