About Zen 紙藝捲紙藝術作品

《禪》係一件為牆身裝飾而創作嘅手工捲紙藝術作品。捲紙係一種將彩色紙條捲曲同摺疊成圓形、弧線同波浪線條,再黏貼喺卡紙上面,營造出立體表面嘅工藝技法。《禪》以一厘米闊嘅彩色紙條製作,捲成大大小小嘅紙卷,並按大小、形狀同色彩對比精心排列。創作過程中測試咗多種摺疊同捲曲方法,以喺紙材上呈現漸變色彩效果。連框作品尺寸為300 x 400 x 15毫米。

Production Technology: Use various long paper strips with a width of 1 cm to make various elements such as circles, curves, and wavy lines by curling and folding, and then paste them on cardboard to present the 3D effect of the work.
Design Challenge: Xue always try to develop a technique that has never been used by anyone before and creates different visual effects. Because paper is a material that cannot be mixed as easily as paints, so she need to try various folding and curling methods to achieve the desired color gradient and contrast effect.It is both tough and soft. she always challenge all the possibilities of paper, to complete seemingly impossible tasks.
Research: Paper is a material that is not easy to mix colors with each other. XUE tried various folding and curling methods to find a method that can express gradient colors, and finally made this rolled paper work break the paper's restrictions on gradient colors. A large number of bright colors are used to express the complexity of the world, and the calm faces under the colors represent the calm state of mind in the flashy world.
Inspiration: No matter how noisy and bustling the outside world is, XUE still hopes to keep her inner peace and create an artwork that can truly awaken people's self awareness. One day, she saw a picture of a woman smiling with her eyes closed, very peaceful and satisfied, XUE was touched by her expression, so she created this artwork to express a peaceful, calm attitude towards life and a strong and confident heart like Buddha, as if everything is about to sail, full of hope. It is a starting point, beginning, budding, and full of energy.
Project Duration: This work took three months to complete in Paris, and be invited to participate in UNESCO's activities in paris.
Operation Flow: Paper quilling is an art of paper rolls, which use colored long paper strips with a width of 1-3 centimeters to express the work by curling and folding. Curves, wavy lines, and circles are elements that often appear in XUE's works.
