Ester lace sclupture

Hong Wai's meticulous fusion of lace and calligraphy in "Lace Pleated Calligraphy - Eternity" delves into the essence of permanence and cultural heritage. By employing the intricate "Folding Brushstroke" technique based on the character "永" (Yong), symbolizing eternity, she intertwines tradition and innovation seamlessly. The delicate three-dimensional folding of each brushstroke not only showcases technical prowess but also encapsulates the profound journey of Asian immigrants navigating the intricate tapestry of Parisian life. Through this work, Hong Wai invites viewers to contemplate the enduring significance of personal narratives within the broader context of cultural identity and artistic evolution.
永:「永字八法」是古代中國書法的基本書寫技巧,由八個基本筆劃組成:點、豎、鈎、撇、捺等。永字八法被視為經典的基礎。我以「永字八法」2作為「摺痕筆法」創作的基礎,首個蕾絲書法作品是「永」字。透過創作「永」字,我試圖建立每個筆劃的立體摺寫方法,這成為《蕾絲書法》中「摺痕筆法」的初探。
