Tseng, Yun-Chieh’ s work of “The Queen’s New Clothes, Yellow Flowers, and Balloons” is an extension of the dialogue between my mother and me using creation as a medium. More than three years ago, her mother suffered from multiple system atrophy (MSA), which accelerated her pace toward an elderly body. She has always loved playing with cloth. What role does art play in her life? How do we read the message or story she wanted to reveal in the work? A mother who is as ordinary as one beside you and me, the relation between their life and us, and how we become who we are now.
Su Ju-Yi’s work of 30 years old we play together from cloth playing sisters, 40 years old to start a business to usher in the dark night of life, 50 years old mood recording cloth & singing for yourself, if I cannot express my unspeakable emotions and feelings, artistic creation let me have a space to place, and it is a petri dish for rearrangement, learning, and growth. The creation of the mood recording cloth gives each other a chance to get to know themselves and their native family. The understanding of life stories of each other brings more acceptance. Accompany and listen to each other during the process and build a deeper relationship
The project extended by Curator Chang, Ya-Ping of “Weaving Community Participation Project” during several collaborations and observations with the artist Tseng, Yun-Chieh and the cloth playing sisters hopes to show that how to directly or indirectly connect the link between people through their own creative influence as an individual artist during the life after participating in the cloth playing, as well as how to try to establish a new mode of dialogue with artists of different generations.
