However, however
“I know the world
As ephemeral as dew
However, however”
- Kobayashi Issa
24 x 16.5 inches
Etching, Aquatint, Drypoint
This print series was inspired by an observation from quantum mechanics and particle theory: “The world is a continuous, restless swarming of things, a continuous coming to light and disappearance of ephemeral entities.” This reminded me of the known attributes of consciousness, here metaphorically represented with the imagery of steam and its transitional existence between condensation and evaporation. Following the images through a narrative perspective, units of shimmering, regularly arrayed objects are discovered in the dark space, which indicates law of creation.
“世界是物体连续的、永不停歇的涌动，
是稍纵即逝的实体不断地出现和消失。”
这系列版画由三张大幅铜版画和三张小幅丝网版画组成，源于艺术家对借由微观时间和宏观时间的概念对“永恒”的思考：持续的出现和消失是一种永恒，恒定静止也是一种永恒。艺术家试图将这些意象与影像结合起来，用空间感表达对时间的理解。铜版画的画面创作试用电影式的镜头推进感，呈现由远及近的三个单幅画面，同样丝网版画像是房间里的一个定焦视角，体现三个角度一致但状态不同的画面。
版画技法上，想要把照片的颗粒质感和手工刻画的有机质感在铜板上结合起来，先将菲林的负片通过丝网制版在铜板上印刷了一个丙烯层，再经过飞尘、腐蚀后，画面是类似照相版效果的同时可以直接对铜板进行干刻、打磨。同时，同系列丝网版画的“镜中图像”使用了铜版原画做为拼贴素材，将“镜子”与“连接世界的门”联系起来。

These three compositionally related prints from the print series “However, however” indicate another view peeping into the “mono world” from colorful interior spaces filled with those units, which represents an eternal multi-dimensional space, my interpretation of the universe and time.
