真人大小的刺绣雕塑，模仿高融的日常家庭场景

北京艺术家高荣从中国的城市和国内基础设施中缝出真人大小的日常用品复制品。这些刺绣的雕塑模仿了我们的日常生活，我们的眼睛经常会跳过布满涂鸦的公交标识、坏掉的电话和成堆的脏盘子。她的作品看起来平淡无奇，但许多直接引用她生活中的场景或时间段。为了创作她的缝制雕塑，高首先在织物上缝上铁锈和其他碎屑的细节。然后，她把这些材料包在海绵或木板上，再用金属框架固定。在她的作品中加入刺绣的一种方式，既保留了她小时候学到的传统技能，又把它们引向了更现代的方向。“我妈妈和奶奶做了漂亮的刺绣，”她解释说。“这是他们的爱好。不幸的是，这个技能不再被重视，所以它正在丢失。高出生于1986年的内蒙古杭锦侯旗。她获得了中国中央美术学院的学士学位。

The embroidered sculptures imitate the routine items our eyes often skip over—graffiti-covered bus signs, broken pay phones, and stacks of dirty dishes. Although her works look commonplace, many directly reference scenes or time periods from her life. Level 1/2, Unit 8, Building 5, Hua Jiadi, North Village (2010) is Gao’s imitation of the entrance to a basement apartment she rented while a student in Beijing, and 2012 her installation, The Static Eternity, is a recreation of her grandparent’s tiny rural home.To create her sewn sculptures Gao first stitches the details of rust and other detritus onto fabric. She then wraps the material around sponges or wooden board, and stiffens the work with metal frames. Adding embroidery to her work is a way for Gao to preserve the traditional skills taught to her as a child, while taking them in a more contemporary direction. “My mother and grandmother made beautiful embroidery,” she explains. “It was their hobby. Unfortunately this skill is no longer valued, so it is being lost.”Gao was born in 1986 in Hang Jin Hou Qi, Inner Mongolia. She received her BA from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, China. You can see more of her work, including these new woven hoop frames, on Klein Sun Gallery’s website.
