Absent Gallery 闲聊

Absent Gallery:

How would you describe your creation?

你会如何讲述自己的创作?

Chelsea:

My creating process is more influenced by my surroundings, or the moment that I feel like I have a “spark”. Usually, I am inspired by my observations and artworks in different media. I will have an idea as a ground first, and then start to make plans on grappling with more factors and elements involved in my art practice. It’s like a “flow” that I would allow it to happen naturally.

我的创作过程更多地受到周围环境的影响，或者是我感觉自己有 "火花 "的那一刻。通常，我的灵感来自于我的观察和不同媒介的艺术作品。我会先有一个想法作为基础，然后开始制定计划，在我的艺术实践中涉及更多的因素和元素。这就像一种 "流动"，我会让它自然发生。

Absent Gallery:

What factors have influenced your creation?

请谈谈你的艺术创作受哪些因素影响?

Chelsea:

My creative workflow is affected, I ad, in multiple ways. One thing is my thoughts on different places and people that I have met. Last year, I went traveling to Europe. The differences between the U.S. and Europe offered me a great sense of what I could think about the way we live, the means we talk about. The space created in between these questions became motivations for me too. I have been thinking a lot about my identities and community that may share my thoughts. I look for a certain resonance wherever possible. I find it online most of the time.

I sometimes enjoy digging into a question, without necessarily focusing on the “answer”. I also like to see films, paintings and objects that could be inspiring.

我承认，我的创作流程受到多方面的影响。其中之一是我对不同地方和所遇之人的思绪。去年，我去欧洲旅行。美国和欧洲之间的差异让我对我们的生活方式、我们谈论的方式有了更多的思考。这些问题之间产生的空间也成为了我的动力。我一直在思考我的身份和可能与我有相同想法的群体。我尽可能寻找某种共鸣。大多数时候，我都能在网上找到。

有时，我喜欢探究一个问题，而不一定关注 "答案"。我还喜欢看电影、绘画和物品，它们可能会给我带来启发。
