\* _FabricDrawing_ began with my exploration into the diversification of painting space. While fabrics replace paints in my work, they don’t necessarily hold a higher significance than mere material. I use fabrics to express a painting spaceratherthantoreproducethe “actofcreatingsomething” ortoembodyastory.

Through painting, I explored various spatial dimensions and expanded my bounds of expression from planar space to architectural space. Facing the moments that imprint in me, whether special or ordinary, I take those momentary emotions and capture my experience-based interpretation and impression in my work.

Fabric can be manipulated into limitless forms: tightened or loosen, tied or untied through knots, or patterned. Variations in texture, thickness, or elasticity show different personalities and emotions. Colored fabrics can be stretched to become thin to the point they appear translucent. Overlapping fabrics of different colors with stretched and translucent fabric creates a new harmony with a mixture of colors, textures, or both.

What I intend to achieve here is to reveal the relationships between what is already visible to the eyes and what has yet tobeseen.Toexplainsuchanabstractideawithmyownwords,Iwouldsay, “Nevertheless,intheend,thereexists us, forming relationships in a harmony.”

Layers of fabric are more powerful than a single layer of fabric. Similarly, rather than existing on their own, colors stand in a balance of or contrast with other colors to have a meaning. Fabrics that have been spread, stretched, hung, and overlapped to create a new screen, build stronger and sturdier layers that provide a foundation and impetus for each other, just like in our life.

\*I named my work as _FabricDrawing_.

In its literal sense, it is a painting technique that uses fabric as a tool. Painting, in a general sense, is defined by lines. In modern painting, however, the definition of such genres has blurred and become meaningless. In my work, a fabric replaces a brush and leaves lines behind on a canvas. Using fabric as a means to create lines, my work embodies planes and space. In the same sense as diversifying the painting space, I believe fabric drawing is also a spatial painting in a broader scope.
