76 pieces of silk. 76 poems. Each piece is treated with alum, becoming translucent and soft. On each, a poem from the Book of Odes is written in brush. The stroke responds to the poem’s emotion – tender verses light and flowing, angry ones bold and forceful, sad ones sparse and airy. 

 

The fragments hang by transparent lines, surrounding the viewer wide degrees. Light passes through the silk; the calligraphy floats like shifting shadows. The audience walks close, looking up, turning around, and standing still. 

 

Thousands of threads interweave into an invisible net. As the old poem says: “A heart like a double-silk net, with thousand upon thousand of knots.” 

 

76片絹，76首詩。絲絹經礬水處理，透明柔軟。每一片為《詩經》中不同的詩，以書法呈現，筆觸隨詩情而變——甜美的輕快，憤怒的剛勁，悲傷的疏淡。碎片以魚絲掛起，光線穿過絲絹，文字如浮影。觀眾可行近、抬頭、轉身、駐足。千絲萬縷，如心似雙絲網，中有千千結。
