#Repost @pondingspace ・・・ 《野餐 PICNIC》 吳美琪 WU MEICHI “My ‘picnic’ is a mysterious journey carefully planned for me by the other.” - Wu Meichi⁣ ⁣ As a metaphor of earthly feasts and scenery, this photobook “PICNIC” explores the relationship and fetters between people, through artist Wu Mechi’s obsession with objects.⁣ ​ ​⁣ This time, Wu Meichi uses still life images to express abstract emotions. She observes that no matter if the power is equivalent or not, we must get used to and maintain peace, even though it is sometimes partially forced or violently forced to accept kindness by others.⁣ ⁣ Starting with a private picnic date, she created a series of splendid collage images to symbolize the process of emotional changes between people at unpredictable moments; maybe it’s due to the weather, the tone, or perhaps it’s not for any reason. She accepts the fact that people’s psychological state is not controllable, which made her turn into the image creation world of collage and landscaping.⁣ ⁣ In the process of unbridled creation, she has regained the possibilities of picnics. Under the little picnic mat, despotism, hesitation, sorrow and joy, impermanence…etc. is buried within. It is hard to experience the feelings until you encounter the scenario in person.⁣ ⁣ Wu Meichi (b.1989) is experienced in setting up incredible vivid light and shadow scenes by hand. The illusion of space is beyond normal understanding. In the process of dividing dimension, common objects are transformed into a still life in a strong manner. The artist is like the creator with a childlike heart, never willing to stop after she starts to play.​⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ -⁣ 作者 author：吳美琪 @wu_meichi 開本 format：20.5 x 26 cm⁣ 頁數 page：84⁣ 設計 design：HOUTH⁣ @houth.tw 印刷 printer：高源印刷 KaoYian Printing⁣ 出版 publisher：朋 丁 pon ding⁣ 印量 edition：400本⁣ ⁣ ⁣ * 全書影像前置標準化與打樣 pre-standardization and prepress proofing：王振昇 @wangross * 藝術指導 art advisor：林顯東 Lin, Shean-Tung photo by HOUTH

As a teenager, I found it really hard to bear with the fact that I saw words I didn’t know every day when I was reading English, so I took it upon myself to make a guess of the meaning of every new word I come across and then look them up in a dictionary! My knowledge of English vocabulary grew incrementally as this same process went on day after day. Then, slowly but surely, starting from don’t know when, I found myself able to understand almost everything I ever read as well as to use these expressions in my writing. This amazing feeling of constant learning and growth has motivated me to keep learning English ever since.⠀ ⠀ What about you? What motivates you to learn English?⠀ ⠀ And by that I mean - what TRULY makes you want to learn English, and not just makes you feel that you need to learn? Are there any learning activities which make you feel happy? Do you thrive on the sense of satisfaction from learn more expressions and soaking in more knowledge like me every day? ⠀ ⠀ 5⃣️ phrasal verbs starting with BEAR for your learning and revision!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ 1⃣️ bear on (與...有關係 / 對...有影響)⠀ Example sentence: The sergeant worries that her personal feelings might BEAR ON the objectivity of the investigation. ⠀ ⁣⠀ 2⃣️ bear up (勇敢地支撐下去)⠀ Example sentence: Despite the sudden passing of her mother, she is BEARING UP remarkably well. ⠀ ⁣⠀ 3⃣️ bear with⠀ Example sentence: The people joined the rebellion as their fury reached a breaking point when they found it impossible with BEAR WITH the despotism of the regime any further. ⠀ ⁣⠀ 4⃣️ bear down on⠀ Example sentence: The police BORE DOWN ON the mass so as to dispel them from where the assembly took place. ⠀ ⁣⠀ 5⃣️ bear up under⠀ Example sentence: Let’s see how she BEARS UP UNDER stress. ⠀ ⠀ ___________⠀ #phrasalverbs #英語 #學英文 #learnenglish #study #英文筆記 #英文法 #英語の勉強 #英文課 #中環 #soho #hkig #instameethk #graffiti #finnieslanguagearts #與芬尼學英語
