A Bed Sheet from the Countryside  (一张从乡下来的床单儿)

"A Bed Sheet from the Countryside" unfolds an experiential journey that attempts to perceive the "whole" through the exploration of its "parts." This artwork borrows a hand-woven bed sheet from Wugong County, Shaanxi Province, previously used in the creation process of "A Painting of Thought," and imbues it with the potential for continuous growth, recombination, and expansion into the future. It faithfully and meticulously reproduces every line generated during the weaving process, not only capturing the essence of laborious craftsmanship but also revealing the harmonious variations between order and errors, vividly presenting the traces of labor. The process of transforming 1-millimeter color dots from the original object into a 100-millimeter grid can be likened to the "blurring" effect of "pixel expansion" in digital image processing. The double-layered grid, sculptural and tactile in nature, not only enhances the suspended texture of the material but also introduces a sense of "temporality" into the space. Through countless flows, recombinations, and continuations, the artwork aims to accumulate layers of cognitive experiences regarding the "bed sheet" and foster an open, liberated posture that allows for both contemplation and relaxation in the collective journey of growth.
