About The Artwork
The journey of Minjie's watercolor practices was set about as the process of releasing trapped emotions when she was suffering from deeper emotional episodes. After decades-long healing and searching for healing for her depression, she moved to California during the pandemic and started building a company, which had mysteriously put an end to her struggles. The artworks here are made after she's transitioned into a new phase, where she transcribes more of the positive emotions in her paintings. From her studies of the surrealists’ automatic writing, she practices automatic paintings in her visual work, allowing the hand to guide the way with few preconceived composition plannings. Each piece of artwork is directly associated with the present moment where the artwork was created. Her practice turned out to be therapeutic and meditative. With her earlier works, she captures thoughts that cross her mind and use them as the titles of the painting. The process helps to manifest repressed emotions and let them out. After the pain or all sorts of emotions are released, she moves on with her life. As a POC woman who’s on a long quest for freedom and independent thinking, Minjie has chosen California as her home. Her watercolor documents the flow of my travels, immigration, relocation, settling, and making one place home. A Thousand-fold is part of the body of work, Love is about to fall.
