I use wood carving sketches as a record of my observations in the boring daily life, to refine their characteristics and temperament, and perform the artistic image of these. I rapidly capture their instant state in the three-dimensional space and abandon the unwanted details to give the overall tension a more authentic character; it makes the sketch more credible. In the process of creating sculptures, it builds the linear movement by using the carving tools. The movement creates an abstract looking as the carving is completed by the activity of “sawing”, “chopping”, “cutting”, and “peeling”, and constructs the “straight”, “block” and “thick” forms. The artist effect disobeys the traditional delicate aesthetic which people hold for the wood carving; the effect shows as an abstract delicacy. This effect shows a primitive quality and at a meanwhile illustrates a futurism feeling of freshness.
