“Sensory, Emotional and Memory of Mine”, the Creation of Embroidery Illustration Project.
This study discusses the traces left in memory when getting along with people in the growing process, starting by narrating the doubt for self-existence, gradually deconstructing the personal affective state, and attempting to make physical and mental amendments through creation by analyzing the affective punctum in personal memory.
The literature review focuses on the affective context and influence between “memory,” “tactile,” and “embroidery.” First is to discuss the importance of memory and affection on the physical and mental growth and the understanding of self-consciousness. Second is to discuss the mutual relationship between tactility, memory, and affection to understand the influence of tactility on memory and the production of tactile memory and analyze the influence and effect of tactility on affection. Last is to discuss the connection between embroidery and affection, organize the development of embroidery and the affective appeal to patterns, analyze embroidery as the affective carrier and the method to heal the mind, and explore the abstract and rich affection latent behind embroidery.
In the discourse of punctum and pain in self-memory, the abstract affection is compared with lines, which are integrated into the creation of embroidery. The comparison of the style and form of embroidery threads is applied to record the state of personal affective flow and transform it into the creative style elements. The creation features the affective core, “Kisuna(絆),” analyzing every punctum in personal memory from the perspectives of “family love,” “friendship,” “love,” and “self,” reinterpreting and presenting every piece of memory in the depths of mind, and interpreting the elements and presentation constructed in the works.
By constantly digging the personal affection and pain and reading a large number of theories to learn about the personal state, in the process of writing and embroidery creation, we will rest our mind and release every affection of self-repression.
