Katy Bowman
Colour materiality and form are Katy's overriding concerns in a practice that encompasses a range of interests and approaches including site responsive interventions, installation, found object assemblage, embroidery, and collage. The use of recycled, domestic and light industrial materials are used to investigate a range of formal and conceptual concerns including light, perception, and materiality to imaginatively and physically engage the viewer in an experience and awareness of the relationships between objects, time and space. Katy's time at YSG will be to resolve and complete a large-scale work in which she will be investigating ideas around thresholds/facades, and ways of seeing, colour, time and space

Long Chan 
According to the manuscript of the perspective study of Durer, who is a mathematician and artist, it found out a transparent frame can be used to deal with the perspective corresponding relation accurately. However, his approach is drawn on the paper by comparison. "The Daily Intuition and Optical Illusion" is a direct way to record the picture in front through a special installation. It reduces the uncertainty of measurement. Less measurement is needed as the difference in focal length is increased during the sketching process. This kind of painting experience is different from sketching and painting in general. This program will also record other experiences such as the reaction of the audience when they are facing the installation. Based on this concept, Long sketches on the people and things he encounters to record his daily life and combining the intuitive track of different cities.

Ching-Chen Wu (Judy)
Judy Wu's works are about her experience of life, and the emotions that are influenced by the thing she faces.  Judy often uses humorous ways to carve animals or human bodies to express her feelings - in her mind this is the most real and purest way of expressing her creation of art. In the course of her creation, she makes both graphic works and three-dimensional works.  Judy uses traditional wood carving techniques and applies them to her sculptures. People can see the details of the artwork, such as different traces of carving from rough to smooth, and after carving the change of color in the grain of wood.  Judy hopes that people will have a chance to touch the works, and feel the temperature of her handmade artwork.  Judy believes that there is no limit of distance between people and her works
