From Attention to Flow

Yuchen Liu

Glasgow School of Art

These works come from time spent with stones. Stones are not still objects here, but active participants in the making. They hold time, pressure, touch and memory, while their weight, colour, texture and resistance guide the rhythm of my hands. Through cutting, placing, layering and working with their surfaces, the paintings, the small forms between drawing and sculpture, and the atmosphere of the presentation slowly take shape. For me, making is a way of paying attention: a quiet love letter to stones, and to the flow that appears between body, material and space. Together, the works ask how staying with stones might become a way of staying with care, continuity and the quiet vitality of the material world.
