Harakiri Collage

This work employs multiple mediums on a loose-weave-fabric stretched across a designed frame. This frame is one of those I received from my Dad who worked on Vietnamese traditional lacquered painting and already retired. In the traditional Vietnamese silk painting, the loose weaving of the silk allows artists to design a transparent effect of the entire composition. Hence, it usually matches with ink, watercolor, or gouache which flexibly affects to the opacity of the image. Nonetheless, by employing oil paint applied on the backside of the painting, the weaving texture of the silk is molded by these pasty pigments, and resulted in its own structure on the front side. Deconstructing the conventional fragile surface, I expect that my methodology may enable the silk painting to be inclusively appreciated by even the visually impaired people via their tactile sensation.
