Alice Gong Xiaowen, Grace Bromley, Jane Kim, Jeff EgnerFor two long winters, I lived with my parents in some small town in New England. I watched a lot of television and picked up my American accent around the age of five. We’ll go to Walmart, and I’ll throw a tantrum by the toy aisle every chance I get. A peculiar parenting tendency with dad, his firstborn is an extension of himself. A peculiar sexual awakening in me, I was an exhibitionist before I even knew how to spell the word public. Shiny lip balms, plastic jewelry sets, and the smell of Play-Doh (still almost a drug scent for me) are not simply juvenile wants, but crass reflections of his needs and mannerisms. I assumed most was due to his reluctance to partake in his grad school peers’ lifestyle, as they were all significantly younger, the idea of responsibility, and me picking up the American accent. Before humility installs and becomes a form of pride, my left shoulder has already dislocated four times after dad's countless desperate attempts to drag me out of my own scenes. Or senses? Satisfaction never came. Lollipops from Doctor Lee always do after he pops my shoulder back. Mom would put me in the middle of the backseat of our Toyota and practice driving in circles in the silent woods, her screaming sounds like Debussy’s La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin, because by then the only girl I would hang out with had pale yellow colored hair. Neither of us invited the other for playtime. Like every romcom, inevitably, I become the only one in the family who speaks dad’s language. Vanity and derision. One night all this must stop, so I didn’t cry. I found my mark and left with a joyous right pocket. It was prime time television, then cut to commercials, then cut to mom whispering to dad’s ear. Everyone was calling my name, full name. I wonder if that was the real reason for such a common first name in comparison to my siblings. Just so I will never feel alone in this world. Everything that follows is in Mandarin. I was told to kneel on the floor. Mom walked away. No question asked. I kneeled. Head’s down, that was my first mistake. I was thinking about my stomach. Television’s still playing, melodramatic tonight. What are the differences between shame and embarrassment? I’m closing all my airholes, first the gap between my teeth then the waterline between my lips then my nostrils, trying not to let any squeaking noise leak. The protagonist is wearing thick makeup. Sapphire. The foundation of the city, the body of heaven. I deserved this. Princess treatment. At this point, I can tell the difference between stomach and bladder. Both easily filled up, one I can slowly trace the silhouette and illustrate the fluffy texture if I hold my breathe long enough, the other through the pumping heartbeat with its dreading weight. Learning to play with silence, especially when I first noticed the pumping heartbeat was coming from my lower abdomen instead of my chest. These bubbling organs. On the floor, in the back of the car, on my tiny bed with bright moonlight while mom and dad played other games in the room next door. He asked if I stole. I said no. You’ve read somewhere else about A. rare encounters. First kiss, UFO sighting, courage and B. mundane routines locking yourself in the bathroom to catch air. Between the oppositions stands the third type of experience, C. incidents in life that are inflicted upon you by chance. A familiarity that demands attention: your mind, your gun, your salivary glands, your ear lobes, your forehead, the thong that is clearly twisted, your index finger that only aches in certain temperatures. You knew that it won’t be the first time. He asked again. I moved my glance up. For a second, I thought maybe the 2008 recession happened not because of the mortgage crisis but of one’s decision to steal princess blue eyeshadow palette from Walmart, taking revenge in my own terms. A period of easy credit, an abuse of emotions in the name of aid and discipline, and the lack of general regulation. Self-aggrandizing is the same as self-deprecating. Both annoying. Before our eyes met, before I said anything more subconsciously sinister to the moralist. Then a strike to the face. Yes. Still kneeling. Now organs are all bursting. One after the other. Burning. I didn’t want to go there anymore, but I managed to hold myself together a little longer than I thought I would have. The question of sincerity becomes a quest for jargon. My first philosophy teacher in high school dated Asian men and learned Mandarin through drinking beer with the local villagers on the weekends, while I fuck school guards to get out without a leave notice from my guardians. In class, he taught me Tao Te Ching in English. I read it in Chinese months after generating pages of English thoughts about it. Tao Te in Mandarin operates under the same characters as morality and the same tonality as ethics. Not wrong, but untrue. Who would have thought translation could be so acutely distracting that it points to another? &nbsp;Through it. Over it. Subversion of knowledge. Through it. Over it. In public school, the academic eccentricity is not associated with personality but with a discipline. The bud of Confucian-based moral codes, pollinated by socialist culture, carefully delineated performative roles and a structure in which certain behaviors are anticipated as though predetermined. &nbsp;Academic = politics = aesthetics = morality = sex, the exterior and interior unified. I took my first nude when I was 14 and sent it to my then-boyfriend. I refused to swear with friends; insults were never verbal. Improvisation and unpredictability are prohibited dangers. The golden boys and golden girls hold hands, walk on tracks while I practice sprinting, date for years until they get into the same regional high school, same university, into the system, into the cadmium red. Exodus. The foundation of the city. The body of heaven. Oh, the debauchery of boarding school, everyone has the capacity to terminate anyone. Yellow fever or white savior complex can get a faculty crucified for a good year. After reading my essay on Hegel, or functionalism, or nihilism, or the chariot analogy — does it even matter — the philosophy teacher told me that I should consult for ESL lessons. I felt the palm and the fingerprints on my face again. A fraud and a writer are the same thing until one is proven to be false. Dad thinks a lot of things are tacky, including his creation. I reckoned if I hid my neurosis well enough in plain sight, admit to mediocracy, then maybe I’d be fortunate enough to escape the common fate. To avoid being cheated on once and for all is to cheat before everyone else. This is not our language, but a language for harsh, brittle beings. Power in the given hand. Power offered with alacrity. Power that correlates with anguish. I was made to believe that history is comprised of tidy epochs - that the end of an administration equates to, as it were, the nailed coffin. Dad, sex, and school are vampires that stalk through the night. In traditional Chinese medicine, ulcers are caused by excessive internal heat, a gaping hole in the back of one’s mind. The flickering flames cast long, cursive shadows of objections. My teenage years of foreign beds were haunted by ulcers in the back of my tonsils. The rebel inside of me came undone. Could it be the exam papers I forgot to submit, the heads I gave in the laundry room, bathrooms, balcony, classrooms, full asphyxiated, or the pathological lies my best friends circulate? I wanted to return the recursive guilt, so I held secrets from both of my parents. Mom’s anger and dad’s infidelity. I am the decoy, now the illusion can finally be everlasting with my siblings. Is it still jargon if it’s all intuitive smothering? Dad tried to find his way to build a character out of fate by never calling or texting. The last time we talked was about something fascist. The guilt context of the living binds us within the realm of necessity and punishments. Did you give everything you have? Last week, I got caught slipping red polka dot underwear into my shopping bags. No gap between time, simply a hiatus, between burnt marks to fade away and laceration to heal through tattoo inks. Touched by a thousand hands, perfectly stained with white juice. I’m now grown enough to view this kind of territory mark as inferior. Until actual occupation, none of this determines its nature. Satisfaction never came. I glanced through the whole room and made sure there were enough eye contacts before letting the piece of cotton slip down between my thighs. I paid for my other clothes and even started a conversation with the girls behind the counter, who had scarecrow hair. I wonder if their stomach burn, by grief or by imagination. Nobody watches television anymore. Leaving home for school means my only exposure to screens has been the neon lights from my computer. For a quick moment, I was walking out of the store, then cut to the security talk on the mic, then cut to him checking my bag, then cut to me kneeling on the ground.&nbsp; Saying no but apologizing for saying no. The underwear was $16.&nbsp; It was impossible for me to be alone. I don’t blame the store girls for not understanding my white lies, nor do I give them credit for my insides slipping away with excitement. My organs started chiming when I begged her to blacklist me. La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin. You don’t understand. I would've cut out my organs and glued them to his door to ward off other women years ago. No one is saying that stealing, cheating, and lying were right. No one is even saying that these memories are acts out of sanity, yet they prevailed. It’s just history and nature, turning objects into people, and people into obsessions, obsessions into opportunities, everybody is anybody. But not now, you've really done it now. You paralyzed me with the pain and my apologies were there to take it all away from myself.

15:51:30 +0000 hardboiled https://hardboiledchicago.cargo.site/Maisie-Corl Kitchen Talk 01 www.maisiecorl.com “Borrowing cues from the digital detritus of the&nbsp;Internet, Corl plays with the leftovers of the consumption undergone by girls attempting to create themselves.” Introduce yourself, list three things we need to know about you or your practice. MAISIE (may-zee) CORL (coral), 21. I have a hard time waking up. What’s your creative process?&nbsp; I draw in my diary every day, like between two and ten drawings. Sometimes it’s just using up excess energy, the satisfaction of making a cute face on the paper to stare back at you. But usually I’m trying to exorcise some image that’s been sticking to me. It occurs to me on the train in the morning, some scene which can describe a feeling I want to show somebody, and then I turn it around in my head until I can get to the studio and commit it to paper. I like to draw the image on my canvas with a Sharpie really fast, and then fill it out with oil paint. The faster I draw it, the more I like it.&nbsp; And then I use a lot of layers of oil paint. I never really think about color when I plan the image, only lines. So I make a lot of choices I end up disagreeing with, and I go back and cover it up. I think I’ve been doing it this way for too long, because it’s built in now. If I do it right the first time, the painting looks empty to me. What factors have influenced your creation?&nbsp; <img width="1344" height="1010" width_o="1344" height_o="1010" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/47f328fe51eb785b2c6f63aa5d2a11d0e02855e0ffe42a3388da70d23e00bfc8/Screen-Shot-2024-03-18-at-11.06.53.png" data-mid="207054303" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/47f328fe51eb785b2c6f63aa5d2a11d0e02855e0ffe42a3388da70d23e00bfc8/Screen-Shot-2024-03-18-at-11.06.53.png" /> How does your medium govern your artistic practice? I’m loyal to oil paint. We’re in a codependent relationship. It’s very important to me that all my paintings are oil, because people who don’t see them in person are always asking me if they’re digital. So it’s kind of a legitimacy issue for me. Because the subjects of my paintings are so indulgent and immature, I feel like the heaviness of oil paint saves them, or at least complicates them. Relationship between life and work? I don’t think I’m one of those people who thinks everything I do is part of my work, they’re semi-separated. I go to school and I go to my day jobs and I clean my room to maintain a life where I can work on paintings. Personal experience vs. work? I try not to put the real girls I know into the painting too often, but they all appear in pieces, frankensteined together. It’s hard sometimes. I revise the girls a lot so they don’t look too much like Alyvia, or Viktoria, or Sharon. I think in my paintings I try not to accuse anyone. The interactions between the girls are often violent or romantic or cruel in ways which bleed and overflow out of the edges of reality, doing things you or I wouldn’t want to be caught doing. Maybe it’s really not true, but I’m showing you how it feels. It’s like lying in your diary, creating a more satisfying melodrama to look back on. Once you bring other people into it, there’s a question of the truth, the painting becomes a document. I don’t want to worry about historical accuracy, or how close together we really stood. The more of the scene is made up, the more accurate I can be to my own fantasies. Does that make sense? What’s been on your mind lately? Cell membranes. How’s life outside of studio? I try to stay very busy. The time will pass either way. And I can’t wait for spring. Share one favorite item of yours. My friend just gave me a pair of slippers she bought on Buyee from Vivienne Westwood, and they’re these green suede highland dance shoes with attached wool socks sticking out of them. It’s like a trompe l’oeil. I did Scottish highland dancing for 10 years, and I still try to practice sometimes. I was really overwhelmed when she gave them to me, it was right after I came back to Chicago after 6 months in Scotland. True love expressed through material goods. My feet will never be cold again. Plans for the future? I’m going to make enough paintings that I have one for every situation. Like a folder of screenshots on your phone. So I have a complete and exhaustive list of How It Feels When ___. What do you most desire? Someday, I want to tell a complete story. And finally, how do you like your eggs? Cadbury creme.

My dad named me Sharon because it sounds like my Chinese name Xinran. Oldest child in the family. Double Cancer. What’s your creative process?&nbsp; Contradictions between materials and concepts are fundamental to me, and I keep feeling like a translator between mediums. With paintings, the image-making process is intuitive but the execution is strategic. Some works are brilliant because they look fantastic in a PDF, while the others are brilliant because you know exactly what it’s trying to do… All my work is about tension and deadlines. If I could articulate it I wouldn’t be making art. <img width="1260" height="1680" width_o="1260" height_o="1680" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b187efb860766e654bbbe27f4fc1d597839d82129ea5c3391a3101d0660fe8f5/creative-process.png" data-mid="207235644" border="0" alt="plans" data-caption="plans" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b187efb860766e654bbbe27f4fc1d597839d82129ea5c3391a3101d0660fe8f5/creative-process.png" /> What factors have influenced your creation?&nbsp; Fear of running out of time.

Hey I’m Olinga, I’m currently completing my BFA at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Medium wise I keep it very rudimentary. When I paint I work mainly with oil on canvas, and when I’m not painting I work using ink on paper. What’s your creative process?&nbsp; For me it all starts in the sketchbook, it travels with me everywhere and becomes a way for me to “catch” ideas as they come to me. If I don’t catch that idea and write it down or draw it out then I lose it. Different sketchbook ideas get are brought together for a larger drawing or painting. <img width="288" height="512" width_o="288" height_o="512" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/838ef89b2ffd50b3351bf158f03406f21998cba202cd802debfe9eae7a45f635/Olinga-Bolden-04.png" data-mid="209496075" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/288/i/838ef89b2ffd50b3351bf158f03406f21998cba202cd802debfe9eae7a45f635/Olinga-Bolden-04.png" /> <img width="384" height="512" width_o="384" height_o="512" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d46d69dc79473ee6252ce45f38f7e3359d79fa8db1f4e097c0e0fc9e5c492062/Olinga-Bolden-05.jpg" data-mid="209496079" border="0" alt="sketchbook scans" data-caption="sketchbook scans" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/384/i/d46d69dc79473ee6252ce45f38f7e3359d79fa8db1f4e097c0e0fc9e5c492062/Olinga-Bolden-05.jpg" /> What factors have influenced your creation?&nbsp; Music &amp; Film, music in film. I love the suspension of disbelief and just letting oneself be totally taken by a film. The drama and the atmosphere that is cultivated is something I think is appealing and I love the escapist elements of really strong films. Music is immediate and can be immediate in its effect on a person, and I love that immediacy. <img width="1214" height="820" width_o="1214" height_o="820" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d972b2da76a3d6d2697595ec073ce90aec4d36a1def73a684c4c8dc377c1164d/Olinga-Bolden-07.png" data-mid="209504448" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d972b2da76a3d6d2697595ec073ce90aec4d36a1def73a684c4c8dc377c1164d/Olinga-Bolden-07.png" /> <img width="512" height="334" width_o="512" height_o="334" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ebaaa2d9b0a4726ec63c31229d82fd85b31179d615cc004eb570542ce1e931ff/Olinga-Bolden-02.jpg" data-mid="209496077" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/ebaaa2d9b0a4726ec63c31229d82fd85b31179d615cc004eb570542ce1e931ff/Olinga-Bolden-02.jpg" /> <img width="510" height="512" width_o="510" height_o="512" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dea49ef2486301c92f5a13e5829b388e255075f9a4f824118832afe9ed9eea5a/Olinga-Bolden-03.jpg" data-mid="209496078" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/510/i/dea49ef2486301c92f5a13e5829b388e255075f9a4f824118832afe9ed9eea5a/Olinga-Bolden-03.jpg" /> <img width="512" height="329" width_o="512" height_o="329" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c9a125fb16ded1186d198a5c3effaf6adeb8869d9a2287b62dbe8db27e176049/Olinga-Bolden-06.jpg" data-mid="209496080" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/c9a125fb16ded1186d198a5c3effaf6adeb8869d9a2287b62dbe8db27e176049/Olinga-Bolden-06.jpg" /> <img width="512" height="335" width_o="512" height_o="335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/98844878dbe8c20c8eedbae6c19ad433c95d79cdafbfaae65c194ee96c9b5020/Olinga-Bolden-01.jpg" data-mid="209496076" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/98844878dbe8c20c8eedbae6c19ad433c95d79cdafbfaae65c194ee96c9b5020/Olinga-Bolden-01.jpg" /> How does your medium govern your artistic practice? Right now I am working the most with ink. It’s instantaneous, once the line is placed it's immovable and can't be obscured. This leads me to being more deliberate and focused with the overall image. It also brings the challenge of how to keep work painterly without it being illustrative. &nbsp; What’s a standard studio day for you? Currently I don't have a dedicated studio space. I work 3-4 days a week on top of being a full time student (no studio classes unfortunately).&nbsp; On the odd day that I have off or the late night with no obligations the next morning, that's when I can be in the studio. It's impractical but you find ways to maneuver around it and still feel sort of fulfilled. Personal experience vs. work? My work isn't overtly autobiographical. I can't divorce myself and my own experiences from my art (and why would I want to) but right now I feel much more interested in exploring ideas or challenges that exist beyond my very small sliver of experience. I want to let people draw their own conclusions and hold their own beliefs, but my work does have a message. If someone doesn't get it it's cool, but if they do then even better. What’s been on your mind lately? Nothing deep. I just wish I had more time to do the things that I want to do. How’s life outside of studio? Well. Life outside of the studio makes me wish I had more of a life involving the studio. The most exciting thing happening is with music. I love playing and performing for people and I'm happy i've been getting to do more of that lately. But yeah just working almost full time and writing essays bleh. Share one favorite item of yours.

Usually, it starts with a lot of inspiration training as an accumulation, and uses the body's perception to connect, cut, glue, and squeeze things as much as possible. This process is the freest and the easiest time to enter certain concepts. After I become familiar with this self-taught style of learning, focus on a few interesting questions, and highlight them visually. At this stage, the intervention of language is very obvious, and it allows me to continue working in a detached way. It can be said that my intention is not about the completion of the painting, but about the progress of the entire complex, destructive practice. <img width="512" height="384" width_o="512" height_o="384" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c82841f697216f94f3dc2656e85c050efeaf75e7084e69cfe1b6100eb5288318/.jpg" data-mid="208246142" border="0" alt="石墨实验其一" data-caption="石墨实验其一" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/c82841f697216f94f3dc2656e85c050efeaf75e7084e69cfe1b6100eb5288318/.jpg" /> What factors have influenced your creation?&nbsp; 我想我主要是受到一些现当代文学和声音的影响。例如小熊 秀雄，高見 順，杜子美等，我喜欢反复默读它们的文字。它们对我来说像是某种精神伴侣，尤其在一些哲学和社会领域，是奠定我作品基调的重要因素。声音对我来说是一种必要的激发态，虽然身为视觉艺术家，但我的确比起失去我的视觉更担心我的听觉。我从小不间断地接受过正式和非正式的音乐训练，这几年通过对实验音乐的研究更加强化了我对声音的敏感性，也是这样声音将我的能量不断激发出来。我不知道什么是音乐家的耳朵，但我的耳朵目前对我而言是决定视觉最终效果的重要器官。 <img width="512" height="384" width_o="512" height_o="384" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d979e8df55f9d47d7999ad169c60cc48ed271d7fa25b68a116b73fd4666874b/.jpg" data-mid="208246138" border="0" alt="关于语言的实践" data-caption="关于语言的实践" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/5d979e8df55f9d47d7999ad169c60cc48ed271d7fa25b68a116b73fd4666874b/.jpg" /> How does your medium govern your artistic practice? 我目前的主要媒介是石墨，墨水和油画颜料。我对三者的物质性感受是从嗅觉开始的。墨水既是扩散的，沉浸的，也是易变的。每一次加水都会改变它变干燥的时间。我喜欢等待墨水变干燥留下些许印记。石墨是创伤，它总是记录着刻意被隐藏的事物。我通常将它与某种结构性的暴力和道听途说的传闻结合起来使用。油画颜料是我最近三年才开始使用的媒介。我喜欢它带来的决定性的话语权，特别它能在画布上声称某种存在，又或是某种可见的精神。在我之前的实践中我将三者分开使用，但总是找不到一个理想的叙事关系。现在，三者将我带到了这里。 <img width="512" height="403" width_o="512" height_o="403" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/235e88b8d5326e9585f46efb7b0109705ef78e1db205e98121643e701e16ebfa/--.jpg" data-mid="208246146" border="0" alt="墨水的动态观察样本其一 / 《飞鸟》诗歌的视觉化实验" data-caption="墨水的动态观察样本其一 / 《飞鸟》诗歌的视觉化实验" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/235e88b8d5326e9585f46efb7b0109705ef78e1db205e98121643e701e16ebfa/--.jpg" /> 《飞鸟》 飞鸟焦执在旷野的霍，攀上谁人的心膜，嘲弄胃里滩涂交错，捎，然后着着错，枉塌了山崖的梯，凿空酒在梦里的琥珀，问是几岳，即颗粒的，细碎的，卖弄风骚的陀，伏欲亭穹，僻叵禽泽，都尘了辽，乔齿敦酌。 二零二三年五月七于芝加哥。 <img width="291" height="512" width_o="291" height_o="512" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bacace09ce8b5b24ed06f36bffbc361d8b5f7d42ac30a52ae4dad0c33fe4ab6a/.jpg" data-mid="208246143" border="0" alt="绘《和(你)的池塘，向上是荼芦天光，向下是大陆南方》中" data-caption="绘《和(你)的池塘，向上是荼芦天光，向下是大陆南方》中" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/291/i/bacace09ce8b5b24ed06f36bffbc361d8b5f7d42ac30a52ae4dad0c33fe4ab6a/.jpg" /> <img width="512" height="384" width_o="512" height_o="384" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b7910108094d39ccd462b85c2cf0ce48679c21bb0ca29bc8b5bd0b128515154f/.jpg" data-mid="208246141" border="0" alt="感知与标记实验" data-caption="感知与标记实验" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/b7910108094d39ccd462b85c2cf0ce48679c21bb0ca29bc8b5bd0b128515154f/.jpg" /> What’s a standard studio day for you? Do you have any rituals in the studio? そうですね。僕は、まず音を見つけます。それは十分に大きくても、十分に小さくても、十分にシャープでも、十分にゆっくりでもいい。 しかし、それで十分でなければなりません。 そうすると、その空間を感じ始め、その空間にある素材を特定できるようになります。 僕は一枚の絵に見てではなく、空間全体のつながりを重視します。 この空間にあるものは常に何らかの形で繋がっていて欲しいし、それを常に意識していないといけない。 前にも言ったように、僕は絵を描くことより実験全体に重点を置いています。 僕にとって、絵画は儀式全体の代謝物であり、何種の写真です。 <img width="756" height="406" width_o="756" height_o="406" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4a4cba64fa683c8e570a27ceac52108d071a01cd0f457374729e0200600b053c/-.jpeg" data-mid="208246343" border="0" alt="声音和祭典行为的练习" data-caption="声音和祭典行为的练习" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/756/i/4a4cba64fa683c8e570a27ceac52108d071a01cd0f457374729e0200600b053c/-.jpeg" /> <img width="512" height="276" width_o="512" height_o="276" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e927c0a1847e0b689dd7746cfff8633f1a9d161f4304b9aad31a7ac7f7d8d2e3/1.jpg" data-mid="208246139" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/e927c0a1847e0b689dd7746cfff8633f1a9d161f4304b9aad31a7ac7f7d8d2e3/1.jpg" /> Would you consider yourself superstitious? Many of my friends are superstitious. Some of them are religious, some are local folk customs, and some are personal spirituality. They often share these wonderful things with me. I would say I like hearing it, but I think I care more about the person's experience in the superstitious process than the so-called cause and effect of the matter. I like this kind of human being. If you ask me whether I am superstitious, I think for me, creation is accompanied by superstition to a certain extent. I am tired of the stability of being able to control everything.

I’m not very good at staying in one space for long time except my studio. I like to walk and climb mountains. Usually when I feel like this place is starting to get boring, then I'll move on to another space. I like to find interesting things on the move, like a horror magazine thrown on the ground, or a wild boar rushing down the mountain. This is one of the joys of my life. <img width="512" height="383" width_o="512" height_o="383" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2358e8881ae85099d9ef3054772aa9f69b177ff669ef9c82c1314c07296ec313/2023.jpg" data-mid="208246137" border="0" alt="2023年拍摄于东京都代々木" data-caption="2023年拍摄于东京都代々木" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/2358e8881ae85099d9ef3054772aa9f69b177ff669ef9c82c1314c07296ec313/2023.jpg" /> Share one favorite item of yours. 我有一个保险箱，跟着我有十年了吧。无论我转移到哪个地区生活我都会带着它。里面装了我的出生照片，随笔，母亲二十五岁时的照片，几十封我和朋友的书信，大头贴，车票，旧钞票，花生壳，糖纸。我不认为我是因为念旧才这么做的。说到底，它们对我来说不是旧的东西，是能够持续添加事物的箱子，可能对于“移动居民”的我来说家一样的存在。 Plans for the future? 慣れない山を登る、左利きの人と出会う、豊かな水を飲む、自由に詩を歌う、三耳を洗う、氷になる。 What do you most desire? 私が最も望んでいるのは、この問いを自分自身に問い続けられる状態ですね。（笑 And finally, how do you like your eggs? 我会按照外婆教我的方法，将泡菜（白萝卜）切成块，放一块在上面一起吃下去。 Koori Ding (b. 1998, Beijing) lives and works between Sichuan, Tokyo, and Chicago.
