Treading on Thin Ice
Feng Yiying

I feel my way with great care, like treading on thin ice, and pursue my dream. I am afraid of losing myself between carving and moulding so I am a “coward” in this field. The skills I learned at the academy can never be abandoned and I feel very proud of that. Different popular trends of thought interest me immensely and I like to visit art exhibitions everywhere. I also like to read many different magazines. Feeling very lucky to be born in this good time. I imagine myself to an obstinate and conceited person. Yet I still stick to the “old-fashioned” artistic style even in this rich and colorful age wanting earnestly to make my works more attractive. In fact within my cognitive scope, I have been trying hard to add some new elements in my works. But I am afraid of going too fast and falling down and losing my direction. Luckily I have an energetic body and strong passion for art. I also have some supportive friends around me. They make me do things I like quietly in this tumultuous time.

There is a view held by me that what I have done cannot be completely expressed by language and word for, it seems, art is a kind of belief, a life style and an expression. As an expression, there is no substitution. But my love for it can only be expressed in words although words do not explain it….
