Untitled 2018

Qin Yufen made this artwork. The dominant colors are white and grey with a bit of black that is splattered across the surface. Imagine the artist standing there with this wire rack in front of them. I bet that they were wondering what to do with it, how to make the ordinary, extraordinary. So they took some ink, or maybe paint, and flicked, dabbed, and splattered it all over. Each dot and dash probably took a lot of thought. What if they added more? What if they wiped some off? I imagine it was a real back and forth. Now the rack is not just for drying clothes. It's a canvas, a sculpture, a thing of beauty. It reminds me of other artists who find the extraordinary in the everyday, making us see the world in a whole new way. It’s like a conversation across time, artists inspiring each other, daring each other to see more. The piece embraces uncertainty, allowing us to find new meaning in familiar things.
