Weaving Harmony and SmoothnessFor Myself At 16為往昔:十六

As MAN Fung Yi stated, she is“…making metal lattice in the form of weaving silk threads to construct fragile yet powerful strength. Moreover, it also deconstructs the boundary between inside and outside- in the way of poetic and introspective expression. I make starry pattern of holes as in the act of “embroidering” to create a comfortable and weightless feeling. Light penetrates and interacts with the artwork which creates fascinating shadows.” These years, inspired by her research on the Chinese ancient costumes and religious garments, she skillfully uses her own worn clothing to represent her expression of the body, memory and gender.

「……生命有如絲線,虛空存萬有……編織絲線般的金屬網狀物:構築脆弱無力的力量,打破金屬作品裡與外的概念,成為內省、詩意的表達;如星斗圖案的孔洞:來自中國古代女紅剌繡和織物的女性柔美本質的再思;當光照進作品,跟虛空的孔洞和柔弱的幼線構成錯綜複雜的影子時,最是令人迷戀。」文鳳儀為人熟悉的《編織親密(身體線)》系列以她自己及家人穿過的衣物和她對中國古代服飾、宗教法服的研究為靈感,運用嫻熟、獨特的藝術手法去呈現對身體觀的經驗和想像。
