Contemporary ‘Nu Yishu’

In the past, the term ‘Nu Yishu’ in China was interpreted as women’s needle work - embroideries or sewing – proper activities for ladies during leisure in their secluded homes. Nowadays in the contemporary world, women’s occupations have extended far beyond their predecessors’ domestic engagements to participate in the competitive arenas of the financial market. Thus Lucille’s work on ‘Nu Yishu’ attempts to manifest modern-day women’s participation in the sophisticated number games in the financial world of today. Reflective of the Taoist principles, the strategy of ‘burnt and loss’ aims to bring out the philosophical implication of nothingness and impermanence in this secular world.


當今女藝術

在往日的中國，針織－如刺繡或縫紉等的製成品，常被視為女性藝術。因此，針織是當日婦女在家中閒餘時侯合適的工作或消遺。但在現今的世界裡，女性的職業己跨越出她們前人在家中的活動範圍，從而在高度勁爭力強的股票買賣市場與男性較一高下。因此，在這次〔女藝術〕的展覽中，我的作品嘗試表達出當今女性在複雜的金融市場內參與的數字遊戲。製作過程運用〔燒〕與〔失〕的理念，希望能讓這過程帶引出道家思想內虛無及短暫的信息。
