‌Ⅰ. Aesthetic characteristics of materials

1. ‌Native texture and tactile sensation‌

   Retaining the rainbow luster of shells, the annual ring texture of wood, the weaving texture of bamboo, and other natural imprints, forming a unique visual hierarchy and warm touch, endowing the work with an irreplaceable natural spirituality.

   Some processes involve fine processing of materials, such as grinding shells to a thickness as thin as paper for splicing, and carbonization and crack prevention treatment of wood to enhance durability.

2. Dynamic sensory experience‌

   Sound and light interaction: Connecting shells can produce wave sounds when they collide with the wind; Bamboo fiber transparency combined with backlight system can project terraced light and shadow.

   Environmental response: Decorative paintings made by splicing copper oxide plates and basalt exhibit a gradient from reddish brown to bluish gray with changes in humidity, achieving a "dynamic ink wash" effect.

‌Ⅱ.Process performance dimension

1. Innovative interpretation of traditional techniques‌

   Stereoscopic construction: Shells are suspended in series through fishing lines to form a 3D floating effect; Bamboo weaving has been upgraded to 3D relief techniques, creating layered landforms.

   Mixed media overlay: combining hemp rope with dried flowers to shape fiber texture; Regenerated resin simulates the iridescent effect of paulownia petals.

2. Translation of Local Culture‌

   Combining Zhaotong basalt with the process of copper kiln transformation to reconstruct regional symbols;

   Waste seedling silver is remelted and cast into paintings, and the source coordinates of the burning materials form a community symbiotic chain.

️ ‌Ⅲ.Ecological attributes and preservation limitations

1. ‌Advantages:

   Sustainability: Utilizing waste coal gangue, edible shells and other renewable resources to reduce environmental burden;

   Cost controllable: The unit price of basic creative materials (such as hemp rope and dried flowers) is as low as 10 yuan, making it DIY friendly.

2. Limitations:

   Natural material fragility: Wood is prone to moisture and deformation, shells are prone to fading under long-term light exposure, and need to be stored away from light and moisture;

   Craft threshold: Lacquer painting requires dozens of processes, and fine shell carving requires professional wire saw technology, which is difficult for ordinary users to independently complete. Natural material decorative paintings transform natural gifts into spatial narrative media, achieving a dual expression of ecological ethics and aesthetics through the integration of materials and techniques.
