Artwork Appreciation
YEH Yi-Li’s sculpture, Have a Good Beginning and Great Progress in Your Career, reorganizes the beautiful scenes in memory into potted plant landscaping in the work. On the potted plant stands a Lego toy figure dressed as a rabbit and carrots, and there is even a Lego rabbit standing and waiting on a rock on the side, as if it is eager to eat the carrots in front of it. These readymade objects are the language of the era that YEH Yi-Li tries to add in with traditional ceramic materials. Through taking the existing form of these readymade objects, they naturally become a part of the shape of the work, and at the same time, have a game-like stacking process. YEH Yi-Li tries to capture the illusory passage of time between nature, objects, and people through a scene of splitting time and space.
