Artwork Description

The artworks in the Kimono Gardens series are made up of rich vibrant colours and diverse textures.

The inspiration for these artworks comes from the intricate textiles of Japanese kimono as well as the beautiful gardens discovered all over Kyoto. To bring in a natural aesthetic, wood was used as my artwork surface. Original photographs, taken whilst I was exploring in Japan, have been digitally transferred onto the wooden surface. Many layers have then been added such as coloured pencil drawings and watercolour painting. These techniques have enhanced certain colours, drawing more focused attention to them. The original composition has been further altered by silkscreen printed layers made up of traditional Japanese motifs. These patterns are shown in sparkling gold leaf, lush velvety flocks or traditional textiles. Kimono Gardens can stand as a cultural treasure on their own or they can be exhibited in sets as the patterns and colours enhance and interplay with each other.

作品描述

《和服花园》系列作品以丰富鲜艳的色彩和多样的质感为特色。

这些作品的灵感源自日本和服上精致的纺织纹样，以及散布在京都各处的美丽庭园。为了呈现更自然的美感，我选择以木材作为创作底板。我在日本游览时所拍摄的照片，经数码转印至木板表面。随后，我再以彩色铅笔与水彩叠加多层绘制，使部分色彩更引人注目。

原始构图也透过丝网印刷的层次进一步被重新诠释，这些层次由传统的日本图案组成，以闪耀的金箔、柔软的植绒材质或传统纺织物呈现。《和服庭园》既可作为独立的文化瑰宝，也可成组展出，让图案与色彩彼此呼应、交织出更丰富的视觉体验。
