Natural Drawing on a Piece of Paper_2
2021

我点燃一张纸,燃烧的痕迹在空气和风的流动中逐渐展开,正负形状在不断的能量转化中保持平衡。我拍摄了这一过程的每个阶段,然后将照片层叠在一起,创造出引人入胜的新图案,如褪色的花朵、真菌或宇宙尘埃。通过这些摄影图像,我希望记录和探索在衰变过程中秩序与混乱的共存。
I ignite a piece of paper, and the burning traces gradually unravel in the movement of the air and wind, positive and negative shapes balanced in a constant transformation of energy. I photograph each stage of the process and then overlap the photo layers to create intriguing new patterns, such as a faded flower, fungus, or cosmic dust. Through these photographic images, I hope to document and explore the coexistence of order and disorder during the decay process.


周谢妮是一位中国视觉艺术家,目前居住在伦敦。她分别获得了坎伯韦尔艺术学院的美术硕士学位和皇家艺术学院的插画硕士学位。周显妮的好奇心始于自然界中衰败和再生的循环现象,她旨在捕捉自然界中脆弱和过渡的细节作为可见的痕迹。她专注于基于时间的绘画实践,研究人们如何通过环境变化来感知时间,以及这些感官变化如何唤起对所在地点的价值感。通过审视我们的生态身份的视角,周显妮希望理解和反思人类在当今社会中如何与自然建立关系。
Xieni Zhou is a Chinese visual artist currently living in London. She received her MA Fine Art and MA Illustration degrees from Camberwell College of Art and Royal College of Art, respectively.
Curiosity begins with the cyclical phenomenon of decay and regeneration in nature, Xieni aims to capture the fragile and transitional details of the natural world as visible traces. The focus is on time-based drawing practices, investigating how people perceive time through environmental changes and how these sensory variations evoke a sense of the value of being in a place. By examining the perspectives of our ecological identity, Xieni hopes to understand and reflect on how humans relate to nature in society today.
