Bio:
Architectural Therapy: Feng Shui Solutions
China Blue is a conceptual artist who uses feng shui parameters to place the work. Her innovative usage of digital formats as solutions transforms this ancient spatial discipline into a feng shui Matrix for the 21st century. The application of feng shui it is believed, changes the direction and pattern of energy in the room, resulting in a healthy and positive environment. This in turn creates healthier and productive lives. When exercising the practice, China Blue uses a diversity of materials including digital devices, stand alone plug and play devices and sound, to facilitate the work. These hybrid digital interfaces first build on the feng shui parameters and then succeed in abstracting the solutions. By transcending the functional aspects of the practice she had thus transformed a discipline into art.
The work is created in relationship to the space and the people who use it and live in it. The solutions for spaces are based on the problems and concerns in the lives of the people who live and work in them. As a result, this on-going project constantly fluxes, according to the space and people involved. In applying this concept to the gallery or home she challenges the Western notions of how space is perceived, by articulating a Chinese perception to space that is in relationship to those who live and work in it.
