Abstract This thesis focuses on a series of hair themed artwork creations between 2010 and 2015. My initial motive, the exploration of hair, the perception of its meaning and the purpose of the links among them are introduced. I explore the concept of imagery in Chinese painting constructs and forms used to create sentimental scenes. Research on the development of the “lines” in Chinese paintings and suitable lines for hair is explored in traditional line drawings to create a greater understanding in how to use hair lines to create scenes with feelings. Related literature is explored for symbolism of hair and how it is associated with human emotions; thus, here the understanding in utilization of hair lines is developed. Creation of different periods I used different techniques and mediums, through my life experience, internship in the salon experience both this binding with ink painting artistic expression, hair tangled, flying, drooping posture on the screen, it's take my different times own inner emotions abstract to be visualize. Elaboration on the different stages of creation is split into four sections. “Diary” series is the use of hair lines drawn to record day-to-day mood like a diary. “Mind-- Sensibility and Reason” series uses spray ink to express general emotions and rationally sorting out chaotic emotions with reasoning. “Mind” is painting of symmetrical hair knots symbolizing one's inner entangled contradictions and mental state. “Shears” are scissors symbolizing the passage of time as it floats around in lost memories to trim the memories of hair. Through my research process of this thesis, I found these four series of works show me my deep emotions that I did not know before and therefore making me more aware of my own inner emotions. |
