About<br />
My artistic interest lies in our fundamental existence as<br />
human beings. The curiosity about “human” guides me<br />
to look deeper into our own body, soul and spirit. Artistic<br />
expressions are ways for me to connect to the source of<br />
creativity, be it in the forms of visual arts, body movement or<br />
performances.<br />
Manipulating body, space and time, the intention of my<br />
work is to create entrances and openings for people to<br />
enter deferent levels of consciousness and I hope that by<br />
embodying the experience that the environment and we are<br />
one, eventually it will lead to the initiation of a healthier being<br />
together and co-existence with the world.<br />
Influenced by my conceptual art education in Europe as well<br />
as inspired by the nature and culture in Taiwan. With the<br />
background study of Anthroposophy, Zen Buddhism and<br />
Improvisation art, I expand my explorations into different<br />
areas between art and life, shifting my role between being<br />
an artist, an art teacher, and an art-space facilitator, to share<br />
and engage with people.<br />
< AM I ><br />
The project < AM I > is a series of exploration in which I-Chi,<br />
Lin inquires the fundamental nature of human being and the<br />
environment. The artist her”self” is the first medium and tool<br />
that she started with. By looking into multiple personalities<br />
she plays consciously and subconsciously in life, they cover<br />
the spectrum from natural being to cultural being, from<br />
unaware of the “self” to ideas and images the mind projects<br />
onto the ”self”. Bringing all these observations into body<br />
movements, drawings, and natural surroundings. The artist<br />
moves from day to night, in snow and fire. The rhythm how<br />
nature breathes reflects in the artist’s being and eventually<br />
reveals a wider comprehension—the world is a unity, which<br />
means light and darkness are two sides of one body, and the<br />
physical and spiritual are depending on each other.
