Hi, It is Taichun Zheng, welcome to my art space, I am focusing my research on art therapy, and I bring life into art. Through the intertwining of rational and emotional thinking, continuing to create works that achieve healing.
I use my passion for traditional techniques to incorporate printmaking and hand drawn elements into my work.
My grandparents gave the "spring" ( '春 chun') in my name, it has been a part of my life for over twenty years, just like the spring that comes every year. Recently they passed away, and I cannot bear the grief for my father, so I combined the narrative with the creative technique of stream-of-consciousness writing to narrative my father's psychological state, and after I finished it, I re-collaged it and made it into a puzzle as a gift for my father, after completing the puzzle, my father will get a "comforting and hopeful" picture, which is the process of art therapy.
The comb was the only thing left behind by my grandparents who passed away; everything else was burnt; my mum stayed and gave it to me, the project is “Ashes of Spring”, that is why the comb in the burning is an essential element. My father held me as a child in his arms, representing legacy, rebirth and hope. Although it is a simple, but for my father it is a healing picture.
