ichilin

I-Chi, Lin’s artistic interest lies in our fundamental existence as human beings. The curiosity about “human” guides her to look deeper into our own body, soul and spirit. Artistic expressions are ways for her to connect to the source of creativity, be it in the forms of visual arts, body movement or performances.

With the background study of Anthroposophy, Zen Buddhism and Improvisation art, she expands her explorations into different areas between art and life. Manipulating body, space and time, with means and through tools of visual arts and live performances, the intention of her works is to create entrances and openings for people to enter deferent levels of (self-)consciousness and she hope that by embodying the experience that the environment and we are one, eventually it will lead to the initiation of a healthier being together and co-existence with the world.
