棉布、线、玉米须，60 × 71 cm, 2025
作品以 20 世纪八十年代家庭中常见的棉布为底本，其上以红线缝绘了艺术家在作品《一日距离》中所行走的路线——从外祖母的老家步行至外祖父的家，一条曾是女性婚嫁道路的轨迹。
布面上部由玉米须组成一段无法完整辨识的书写。其文字结构保持着介于可读与不可读之间的状态，与艺术家以刺绣生成的若干符号并置。书写的残缺、路径的连贯与材料的脆弱性相互叠加，使家庭历史、女性劳动与未被完整记录的记忆在同一表面被呈现。
Between Lines
Cotton, thread, cornhusk
The work uses a type of cotton cloth commonly found in Chinese households in the 1980s as its base. Red thread traces the walking route from the artist’s project One Day’s Distance—a path from her grandmother’s former home to her grandfather’s, once taken as part of a her marriage journey.
Across the upper portion of the cloth, corn silk forms a fragmentary piece of writing. Its letterforms remain suspended between legibility and illegibility, set alongside other stitched symbols. The incompleteness of the writing, the continuity of the route, and the fragility of the materials overlap on the same surface, presenting family history, women’s labor, and memories that were never fully recorded.
