About

边诗英是一位中国艺术家，她以材料为主导的创作实践，探索如何通过玻璃和瓷器来体现季节的韵律和无常。她的作品以中国二十四节气——一种观察时间的循环框架——为灵感，展现自然界静谧的变迁：春回大地前的解冻，冬日阳光的静谧，落叶上积聚的湿气。

她的装置作品融合了铸造玻璃、灯工细丝和手工成型的瓷器，创造出平衡脆弱与重量、动静的空间构图。她着迷于材料之间的对比与张力——它们如何屈服或抵抗、如何开裂或流动——以及这些材料行为如何呼应时间和季节的微妙变化。

她的创作实践源于对事物变化的静谧关注——光线如何弯曲，材料如何断裂变形，时间如何在形态中留下痕迹。受崇尚和谐、逆转和循环流动的哲学思想的影响，她的作品拒绝线性发展，而倾向于将转化作为一种​​思考和创作的方式。

她并非将材料视为工具，而是聆听它们的行为——允许瓷器破裂，玻璃变形，粘土在自身重量下下垂。在这个展开的过程中，思想与物质共同演进。她的方法栖息于传统与创新、永恒与崩塌之间。

诗英近期在皇家艺术学院毕业展、Small Gallery的“振荡”以及2025年伦敦设计节期间在Blackdot Gallery的“没人教过我这个”展览中展出。她的作品还被收录于伦敦The Handbag Factory的“静谧的回声”展览、Purist Gallery的“非重复性循环”展览以及LumiNoir艺术展。她将于2025年登上《ArtistCloseup》杂志。诗英目前居住在伦敦。
