The main axis of this exhibition, “Waves of Convergence”, is the connection
between the craft materials and the works, as well as the creators and the land.
In this modern society, traditional craft materials are very easy to be ignored
and replaced. Their existence is rather small, but important. A traditional
craft material contains the power to fully present a work and tell the whole
story behind it. It combines the story of the work and the land and also links
the wisdom and strength of the collective. This pattern of manifestation reveals
the artists’ attempts to pull themselves away from the work. Instead of
emphasizing the individuals excessively, the artists let the craft media voice
out the work, which indirectly conveys symbolic significance of the gradual
renaissance of the craft media.
This craft creation is defined as the
subject and brand consciousness with self-will rather than an object purely for
viewing. The creation of media is also a reinterpretation of the time and space
where it is located. It concretely presents the natural aesthetics in the space
by disassembling the media elements and creating fiber lines in the space and
also echoes the current perception and thinking by applying the local process
materials creatively to activate the design energy.
“Waves of Convergence” explores
individual creation by means of “perceptual artistic creation” and “rational
design rules” that collide with and pull each other in chaos, thereby
stimulating creative inspiration and talent and finding the way out for the
life. Designs and works are expressions and presentations of emotions through
exploration and reflection, under the blend of perception and reason. Presented
from light and shadow, as well as airflow and time, the whole exhibition makes
the audience feel the virtual and real boundary of space and dialectics between
the subject and the object.
