Fabled Geography

虚构地理

Fabled Geography is a series of works continuously created by the artist through daily meditation and practice. The concept of the series originates from the artist’s fascination with surface landforms. She was inspired by the fragmented terrain of the Pearl River Delta region, shaped by the collaboration of water, wind, and soil, and simultaneously regarded this terrain as a "site" for dance or bodily performance. Within this vision, the artist constantly experiments with enabling materials and the body to cooperate under overlapping forces of gravity, presenting the outcomes of these movements on the canvas to create dual imprints of matter and the body.

She sees this process as repeated attempts of individual intervention into the landscape. A prominent medium used in the series is metal powders (such as iron and copper), commonly found in urban infrastructure. These refined metals interact—quickly or slowly—on the canvas with natural elements like air, collected seawater, sand, and invisible water vapor, forming reimagined geographical landscapes.

This series is also a personal record of her identity as a witness to the terrain of the Pearl River Delta—an observation of shifting coastlines and the rapid transformation of the landscape, as if triggered by the press of a shortcut key.

[虚构地理]是艺术家在日常冥想和练习中持续创作的系列作品，该系列的想法源于艺术家对地表地貌的着迷，她受到珠三角地区的风、水、土三者合谋构造出的破碎地貌形态的启发，并同时将其视为一个可作为舞蹈/身体表演的“地方”。在此意念中，艺术家不断地尝试让材料、身体在交叠的重力下协作，并将这些运动的结果呈现在画面上让其形成物质和身体的双重印记。她将这一过程视为一次次个体介入地貌的尝试，系列中大量使用的媒介是城市基建中常用的金属（比如铁和铜）粉末，人工提纯的金属材料在画布上和空气、收集的海水、沙子，以及不可见的水汽等自然物或快或慢地融合、反应，促成重塑的地理图景。

这个系列作品也是她身为一位珠三角地貌见证者的笔录，见证着海岸线的变化，见证了按上快捷键的沧海桑田。
