Chinese calligraphy, 書法 shu fa, literally translated “the art of beautiful writing”. It is considered the epitome of Chinese culture; a quintessential art that merges language, history, philosophy, and aesthetics. Elaine is library@orchard’s artist-in-residence from March to May 2023. She will be exploring the chronological development of Chinese characters, and the ways in which contemporary techniques may intertwine with traditional ones.
