4_stone rubbing&oil painting_reading

This is a multimedia piece titled "Reading" on an oil-painted background. The center consists of torn-up pieces of "rubbings*" on Lianshi Paper in the middle ground, and a protruding foreground of a cardboard iPhone model with another rubbing on top.

 

This piece is named "Reading" because the intention behind it is to highlight the disparity of accessing information between ancient and current times, and a call for respect for the traditional media.

 

*Rubbing is a technique of transferring ancient stone carvings (usually on boulders or tomb stones) onto paper.

Dimensions: 30 in x 21 in
