My practice is focused on Contemporary Chinese Ink and Watercolor in work which investigates the conflict in human nature between external appearance and internal feelings. Since last year I have been working on projects which scrutinizing the Guanxi between two people. Translated from Mandarin, it literally means “relationships” or “connections”, although neither of these terms sufficiently reflects the wide cultural implications in Chinese culture. Figuratively, it implies the invisible tension and atmosphere between two people. This series of works were inspired by the poem “The Third Thing” by D.H. Lawrence. Nobody knows what the third thing is, but because of its presence, two people encounter, click, and form connection.
