作品分为纸上针孔和空间装置两大类型,纸上作品在延用中国传统手工宣纸和中国女性刺绣工艺的基础上,对宣纸和笔墨、针和线之间,在运用与表达中所包含的文化特质进行了新的思考与拓展;另一部分空间装置、雕塑和行为影像作品,通过借用古埃及混沌之神“NUN”的名字,展开对远古人的社会结构和精神信仰等的探寻。

Her artistic portfolio encompasses two major categories: intricate paper pinhole creations and immersive spatial installations. In her paper-based works, Fu Xiaotong innovatively extends the legacy of Chinese traditional craftsmanship, interweaving new narratives by combining the cultural essence of Xuan paper, ink, needles, and thread. Her exploration transcends the boundaries of technique and expression, offering fresh interpretations of these facets of Chinese culture. Her other body of work comprises spatial installations, sculptures, and performative video pieces. By invoking the ancient Egyptian deity “NUN”, she probes the obscure ties between the myths, history, and beliefs of antiquity and their resonance in modern society. This reflects her interest in the clandestine interplay between human spirituality and the intricate tapestry of contemporary life.
