| 关于此艺术家 |
I am an artist participating in the continuous construction of society. By my nature I am a maker, I build, I manipulate, I create. The making process is what appeals to me. I attempt to align the making process with conscious intent, trying to make things for a reason. This process leads me to making many different things, each mode a response to a certain set of circumstances. In every process the intent to affect change exists. In every process I am aware of my intentions. In every process I am open as the creative process suggests new paths. In the end, what I make is a manifestation of my creativity, intuition and will. |

One Thousand Arms
2008 Multi-media Installation 800cm in diameter |
|
Based on the One Thousand Armed Bodhisattva of Compassion, this work invites viewers to explore the role of compassion in their lives. A bodhisattva is a person who has reached enlightenment but chooses to return to the physical plane of existence to help others. Bodhisattvas are often given special powers and attributes upon their return, and the Bodhisattva of Compassion was given 1000 arms to be able to offer more compassion to humanity.
The idea of action is central to the idea of compassion. Compassion is an active state, not an emotional state. Compassion is to suffer for, with, on behalf of another. Compassion is to take on someone else’s suffering for them, to carry the load, to provide them relief from their burden. The viewer’s participation is symbolic of the act of compassion. The piece contains 998 “arms” with gallery visitors being invited to add their two arms to complete the piece. |
