Ievy Lin explores the convergence of sight and touch, investigating materiality through contrasts of visual and tactile experiences. She focuses on the rawness of materials, craftsmanship, and connectivity. She presents surprising, dream-like tactile interactions by manipulating elements like colour, weight, and finishes. She illustrates these concepts through stories like "Illusion" and another representing a dream transitioning to reality, using bold colours and abstract structures.

Tsai-Chieh explores the intersection of sight and touch, posing, "Are you certain that what you see is the same as what you touch?" Her concept involves contrasting visual and tactile experiences to elicit surprise and reveal the unexpected within materiality. She seeks to underscore the rawness of materials, highlight craftsmanship, and promote connectivity.
She delves into the concepts of time and negative space. AbouConcerning the sense of touch, she carefully considers material, colour, weight, and finishes to convey the uncertainty intrinsic to her work. Her objective is to provide viewers with an irrational juxtaposition, similar to a dream, where surprising tactile interactions and gaps in understanding are conveyed through colour, texture, and pattern.
In the first story, "Illusion," black and white elements create a surreal and strange aesthetic. It appears unexpected yet intriguing when touched, presenting an abstract experience.
The second story revolves around a dream transitioning to reality. It's compelling, with bold and slightly unusual colours. The choice of bold colours signifies a shift from the abstract and atmospheric to the real and tangible. The colours are vivid and aggressive; they cannot be ignored. They are indeed in your face, demanding your attention. The texture and structure used here are open to interpretation.
Tsai-Chieh 探索了視覺和触覺的交匯點，提出一個問題："你是否確定你所看到的和你所觸摸的是一樣的？"她的概念涉及對比視覺和触覺體驗，以引發驚奇並揭示材料性中的未知之處。她尋求強調材料的原始性，突出工藝，並促進連通性。
她深入研究時間和負空間的概念。關於觸覺的感知，她仔細考慮了材料、顏色、重量和完成度，以傳達她作品中內在的不確定性。她的目標是為觀眾提供一個非理性的並置，類似於夢境，其中通過顏色、紋理和圖案傳達出令人驚訝的觸覺互動和理解的空白。
在第一個故事"幻象"中，黑白元素創造出一種超現實而奇異的美感。當被觸摸時，它看起來出乎意料，卻又引人入勝，呈現出一種抽象的體驗。
第二個故事圍繞著夢境向現實的過渡。它引人入勝，顏色大膽且略有不尋常。大膽的顏色選擇象徵著從抽象和氣氛狀的過渡到真實和有形的。顏色鮮豔且激進；它們不能被忽視。它們確實在你的面前，要求你的注意。這裡使用的紋理和結構開放於解釋。
Ievy Lin
Ievy Lin 是一位專門從事編織紡織品的設計師。 她目前使用多種材料，旨在創造有觸感的機織物。 日常物品的紋理和材質始終給她帶來靈感。 她的作品強調了不同材料組合的可能性以及對觸感質量的詮釋。
這是Ievy Lin 透過探索觸覺的方式所發展的新的梭織系列，透過這一種梭織方式將織物面料從結構層面拓展到人類五感的維度，同時創造了一系列新的織物，並在其中讓觸摸布料時，讓人探詢視覺與觸覺的交互關係。
Ievy Lin is a textile designer specializing in woven textiles. She currently works with multiple materials, aiming to create tactile woven fabrics. The textures and materials of everyday objects consistently inspire her. Her work highlights the possibilities of different material combinations and the interpretations of the quality of touch.
This is a new woven series developed by Ievy Lin, exploring the sense of touch. This weaving method reimagines fabrics from a structural level to encompass the dimensions of human sensory perception. Simultaneously, a series of new fabrics are created, allowing individuals to explore the interactive relationship between vision and touch when interacting with these fabrics.
