Rojo

作品賞析

LIN Gieh-Wen is skilled in using knitting, metal crafting, and composite media in artworks that discuss topics related to ethnic migration, women’s issues, and self-identity to investigate and reflect upon the meaning of changing times and how it affects traditional culture and modern urban lifestyles. Rojo combines crochet knitting and metal crafting to convey the boundless vitality, passion, and sympathy coursing through the body. To LIN Gieh-Wen, Rojo, the color Red, is the basis of familial empathy as well as other contradictory elements and concepts related to blood and conflict, love and detachment, passion and repression. Her works could be considered an independent soft sculpture and decorative items that could be worn on the body as a symbol of personal lifestyle and contemplation upon personal identity.
