Song
(What are the characters?)
XinSong bring us to the beginning. The beginner’s mind, the beginner’s
eye are reminded that they are awake and have capacity. Her painstaking
draughtsman ship is effortlessly erinced in each of her works. The technique
of cutting allies the surgeon’s precision with the gardener’s
patience. Layer upon layer of meanings link with the ability to allow
the images to settle a resonate. Her work renders the nightmarish as pacts
of reality fully --and allows them to resume their proper place, as the
minor parts of a composition. Her delicacy of touch is the key to bringing
the words “Dream on” back to their natural place in the critical
vocabulary. The hovering of her spring time is joyous, The rich fruitfulness
of her maturity an inspiration for the future. She allows us to transcend
the limits of our borders, whilst allowing the humor from cultivating
our own gardens to bubble forth in the expression of an invitation to
further mystery and communication. It is difficult for me to step back
from XinSong’s work and regard it without the knowledge of her personal
sweetness but that sacrifice I would make.The personal is small in the
face of her works; the person is bigger; and larger looms the dream.
Tread softly, for
You tread on my dreams.
