绳结系列 是一项关于绳结的持续研究，它追溯了戈特弗里德·森佩尔关于早期农耕仪式中建筑起源、仪式、艺术与工艺的关系讨论，即人类最初通过象征性地使用非永久性材料从混乱中创造秩序。绳索状态的变化很吸引我。柔软的棉线通过框架和重复打结呈现出类似金属的状态。我通过重复的劳作，编织悬挂在空间里的绳结，尝试触碰一些平静时刻和内心秩序的感受，并与之相处。

Knot Series is an ongoing research on knotting. It traces Gottfried Semper’s idea on the origin of architecture, ritual, art, and craft in early farming ceremonies that human started to create orders from chaos by using non-permanent materials in a figurative way. The changes in the state of the rope are very attractive to me. The soft cotton threads take on a metallic state through frameworks and knots. I make knots that hang in space through repetitive labor, in search of quiet moments and inner order, to get along with them/oneself.
