A — SKETCHES

I asked people of different ages and trades what they made of it. The reading behind it is Fei Xiaotong’s From the Soil, on how local society and its obligations are actually structured.

B — MATERIAL EXPERIMENT

Made with black ink, golden dust and handmade paper. In the watercolour work I tried traditional techniques — salt scattering, foam texture, different brush movements — looking for what an ordinary medium can still do.

C — PHOTOGRAPHY

Taken on a trip to Inner Mongolia, where the lifestyle and the landscape stay closer to tradition. Vast land, harsh wind, rough texture.

D — FINAL OUTPUT

Twelve main pieces and several supporting graphics. Modelling uses baimiao, the fine-line method from ink painting, but drops xieyi freehand for geometric form. Drawn in Procreate with textures sampled from traditional crafts, colour finalised in Photoshop.

E — TEST BOARD 06

Bound the traditional Chinese way, cotton thread through every page. The proportions are a square, which gives the object more form and more decoration.
