Contemporary art is hard to find and even hard to defined

My design inspiration is spider web.


They are fine and smooth; each of them has different graphic importance. On the other hand, they have their own purposes, some for hunting, and some for living. [Via] Wikipedia


By weaving, the complex but normative shape of spider web has been materialized. With the help of various inspirations, I have created my own gorgeous spider web.

Art is ultimately about emotion because it’s not diametrically about skill. You can have a very skillful work and yet it doesn’t convey emotion. So the MA students have to be articulate about what we are trying to do. Our professor Jivan is of course being articulate by nature. So we all have to learn to describe why work emotionally grips us, why do we find this is a particularly good work. And that is what so exciting by MA course. 

When I was designing this series, I thought of a mood, a way of spider living, of certain form for nature life. The possibility to link the legacy of painting, photography, film and theatre, of my personal graphic research references, with contemporary design and styles. Therefore boring things like spider web sometimes can be interesting thing.

Below I presented 3 pieces of my work: Bluish Lotus, Anna May Wang and Golden Hour.
