THE POTENIAL OF PAPER

THE POTENTIAL OF PAPER (ON-GOING)

Shigeru Ban's application of a single material -- paper tube gave me some inspiration about invest the potential of a single material - paper. This is one of the work I participated in designing during my internship, a room for displaying the progress of charitable achievements. The design of this room is inspired by the curved or folded edges of paper. I think the discussion of a material is endless, and the plasticity of a material is also infinite

Interactive Installation Paper | 3 weeks in 2021

We all want to make ourselves appear more mature or younger by playing the role of another age. I used paper to create several shadows. When the audience merged with the shadow, he might see another self.

The clarity of the light's shadow on the audience’s face depends on the thickness and amount of the paper, the distance of the light, and the distance between the paper and the audience. In order to find the most appropriate thickness and distance, I conducted some testing and finally completed this interactive work which focus on investaged the intuitive facial changes such as sagging apple muscles and wrinkles.

Model, Paper | 3 Weeks in 2019

A piece of paper is 2D, but it can turn to 3D by cutting, sliding and folding. Incorporating curve, straight lines, circles, triangles, squares and rectangles, the paper pops up from the background and form artistic configuration.

I used nine pieces of 9cm x 9cm paper. I think the interesting part of this work is that it can discuss not only the site planning, but also the production of building models and the building facade.

Model, Paper | 2 weeks in 2020

One piece of paper were cut into three part and three object were constructed. Factors like spacial relationship, light and shadow, and practicability were integrated in this piece. I set the production direction of these objects in the direction of architectural design, and indirectly discussed the application of paper in the process of model making.

The inspiration of this work comes from the design of MAD Studio's Yiwu Grand Theater. The architect used sulphate paper for the model and this translucent paper brings a lightweight atmosphere to the whole work. This work made me start to notice the application of paper in model making and atmosphere creation. This work also discussed how to establish the relationship between individual buildings and building groups. Compared with the previous 2D to 3D, the starting point of this work is more pure space, and the audience is considered in the model

Costume design, Paper | 2 weeks in 2019

What kind of collision would occur when experience and costume design elements were added to art works?

I cut out different radians and sizes of arcs on three pieces paper respectively, so that they cover each other and merge into the shape of human body. This work create a workable costume concept by bending, cutting, folding and overlapping paper, and discusses the application of paper in clothing design. The starting point of this work is people, which more purely discusses the application of paper on human body. In fact, costume design can also be regarded as a small space design starting from people.
