【+VE/-VE: Introducing.........Cheng Man Ling】

2019年6月至今,香港經歷了很多事情,直至疫情爆發,社會運動漸漸靜止下來,讓我們有重新思考自身與身邊事物的空間。本地藝術家鄭敏玲的《葵花鏡》以49支彷照古代的葵花陶鏡,既反照社會現象,同時反照自己。這七七四十九支葵花鏡,4在中國代表著幸福,而9是代表長久的象徵,藝術家利用泥土作修行的工具,親手由泥版做起,透過心和手之間的狀態,把意念表現出來。在這紛紛擾擾的時期,這對她而言一場是自我療癒的過程,完成的作品已是這過程殘存的影像,見証了這段由死往生的故事。

The process of creating these 49 pieces of "Chinese Sunflower Mirror" for local artist Cheng Man Ling, has been truly self-healing in this tumultuous period. To the artist, the Chinese sunflower mirror is not merely a mirror, but something through which we can ponder on social phenomena and ourselves. It allowed her to reflect on herself and the world around her, when the world since June 2019 seems to have turned upside down. Although the completed work is but a surviving image of this event, it undeniably bears witness to this healing process of the artist.
