For a long time, we have put our attention to the topics that are related to women, female bodies and the relationship to the mother earth. In the beginning of 2014 we started a project called “ My Womb, My Mother Earth – Uterus Painting”.
For nearly a year, we have hosted 10 Uterus Painting workshops in Taiwan, Hong Kong, northern Thailand border, Nepal, South India and other places, thus collected all kinds of stories about people’s experiences in life. There are feelings of sorrow, pain, joy, strength and balance.
Based on these stories, it has constructed the conceptual idea of this exhibition. We would like to weave through our hands to connect between you and me, to connect woman and her body, to connect woman and the earth, to connect woman and man, and to connect woman and woman.
In this July, 120 of the uterus paintings, 3 pieces of metalwork jewelry and collective group creations will be presented in the exhibition, and it will start with a large installation textile to display each unique uterus paintings.
The curatorial group has started in May 2015, and we look forward to the experimental way of presenting in this exhibition.

We have collected over 120 uterus paintings around the world from 5 countries. Each uterus drawing was an unique life experience related to mother womb.
The first series of " My Womb, My Mother Earth Art Project" My team has created this large-scale uterus installation “ taking the viewers back to the mother womb” , In order to encourage women to be aware of her body and be able to relate her body and to connect with the mother earth.
Because the Origin of everything is from the Uterus.
In the second series of “ My Womb, My Mother Earth Exhibition” ,
we separated from mother womb, and started our life journey.
On the our road, we met life, also death, or we met a transmutation.
We faced life and death every day. The life and death of our cells and the issues of life, then we have to face all this by ourselves.
I want to use the red snake and green snake to represent the process to passing through life and death. They interlaced again and again. This time what we want to investigate more is the changes we go through as an independent person.
The red snake
A transmutation process. She has varieties of desires and aspects of emotions. She is very intense. On the red snake, no matter her shapes or her practices, actually include factors from many and people’s emotions inside.
The green snake
Rebirth is actually happened after an intense transmutation. It is back to the safe place, and slowly molt its skin. It is weak when the new skin grows. It is actually weak, and it needs to face its weakness and grow its new spouts or skin.
