Blue
2008
Dimensions: 2x4 ft (1inch thick) x 2 modules
Materials: Glass, agate crystals, plastic, sand, concrete, LED.
Mounting: Wall mount
Indoor. Outdoor application is possible only if protected by a glass enclosure.
The bright blue areas made by shattered glass are back-illuminated by blue LEDs. The remainder is made of painted stucco, sand, and pebbles.
The theme for this work consist of:
Tropical oceans, breaking waves, shimmers.
Aerial image of remote mountainous landscapes.
Desert landscape.
Sedimentary features
The Blue series is constructed by merging inspirations from remote places (such as the Gobi desert, where I lived) and the principles as well as techniques for the 12-16th century style Japanese paintings of Chinese origin called Suibokuga (also called Ink painting). My Suibokuga teachers taught me that everything in this world is made of life energy and that every line you draw must radiate with this same energy. In this work, I made attempts to reflect this teaching so that the energy of, say, breaking waves is captured. In this sense, this work has a touch of resemblance to pre-Edo period Japanese paintings.
Below shows only two panels but multiple panels may be inter-connected to create a panorama picture stretching from the ceiling to floor. Other themes/colours are also available.
