《从你到我》
滇瑞香、线，100 × 200 cm，2025
作品延续了艺术家对植物与女性的持续关注与探索。在主导的权力结构中，植物与女性常被置于次级位置，但这种共同处境并非对称的二元压迫，而是一种更广义的“家族相似性”——一种被结构化、被压抑，同时又在深处产生连接与回声的可能。
作品选用腾冲造纸村中手工纸所用的植物为材料。在造纸过程中，植物经历选料、蒸煮、清洗、打浆、抄纸、榨纸、背纸等阶段，这种植物纤维如同人的皮肤，柔软坚韧。艺术家以同一种植物在不同工艺阶段的物质状态为基础：她将打成纸浆的植物纤维手工捏制成小型雕塑，每一件都是一只手的负形；这些形体被覆盖于被拉扯至近乎透明、带有皮肤质感的植物纤维表面之下。
在皮肤与植物之间，在身体与投射之间，回荡着某种历史的余音——那些被时间沉积下来的动作、重复与沉默。作品既触及个人的记忆，也触向更广泛的缺席者，是一种轻微而持续的追问。
From You to Me
Daphne feddei, thread, 100 × 200 cm, 2025
The work continues the artist’s sustained engagement with plants and women. Within dominant power structures, both are often positioned as secondary beings. This shared condition is not a simple binary of oppression, but a broader “family resemblance”—a terrain shaped, suppressed, yet capable of resonance and unexpected kinship.
The work uses the plant material employed in the handmade paper tradition of Tengchong’s papermaking villages. Throughout the papermaking process—selecting, steaming, washing, pulping, sheet-forming, pressing, and drying—the plant fibers remain both soft and resilient, like human skin.
The artist adopts different material states of the same plant across these stages: she hand-molds the pulped fibers into small sculptures, each a negative form of a hand. These forms are then covered by a thin, almost transparent layer of plant fiber stretched to resemble skin.
Between skin and plant, between body and projection, something of history reverberates—gestures, repetitions, and silences sedimented over time. The work touches personal memory while extending toward broader absences, posing a quiet yet persistent question.
