Strings Drawing
"Strings Drawing" is a captivating work that merges Chinese music with visual art. Using ink as her medium, artist Ling Pui Sze transforms the dynamics of music into stunning ink paintings through her performance on the zither. The accompanying video captures her rendition of the traditional piece "Songs of Fishing Boats at Dusk." Ling employs a specially designed zither that allows her to play and paint simultaneously. As she performs, the strings absorb ink and, through their vibrations, transfer it onto watercolor paper, resulting in unique ink dots. Each artwork draws inspiration from traditional guzheng repertoire, including "Spring Seedlings," "Jackdaws Playing In the Water," and "Milking Dance." The distribution and gathering of ink dots convey the emotional nuances, pitch ranges, and frequencies of the music. Each ink wash piece embodies the emotions of the performance, channeling her movements into the strings and transforming musical notes into abstract patterns on paper, serving as an alternative form of notation. During its exhibition at the Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts, "Strings Drawing" evolved into an interactive experience, inviting the audience to lay xuan paper on the instrument and play, allowing them to create their own ink paintings. |
弦畫
《弦畫》是一部融合中國音樂與視覺藝術的作品。以水墨作為媒介，凌佩詩透過古箏的演奏過程，將音樂的動態轉化為水墨作品，錄像紀錄了她彈奏傳統古箏樂曲《漁家唱晚》的表演。 她使用特製琴體，使其能同時進行彈奏與作畫。在演奏時，琴弦吸收墨水，並通過震動將其轉印到水彩紙上，形成獨特的墨點。每幅畫作皆取材於古箏傳統曲目，例如《春苗》、《寒鴨戲水》和《擠奶舞曲》。墨點的分布與聚散反映了音樂的情感、音域及頻率，每幅水墨作品透過演奏樂曲時的情感帶動肢體動作傳遞到弦線，將音符轉化為抽象圖案打印在紙面作為另類圖像記譜。 《弦畫》在桃園市立美術館展出時轉化爲互動作品，觀眾能自行在琴體鋪上宣紙後彈奏，創作出個人的水墨作品。 |
