Rebekah Wilhelm worked on two main projects while here in Taiwan at Bamboo Curtain Studios.
During my time at Bamboo Curtain Studios I explored the concepts of barriers, or fences, as a symbol for structures of power and structures of safety. I worked with different features of the fences I experienced on my daily walk through the city. During my walks I would pick up broken parts of the fence that I found on the roadway and brought them back to the studio and documented the fragments, then used the metal to make a pigment to create an installation on the roadway in relation to the fence’s origin. Another part of my exploration into the concepts of the barrier or fence I created a fence out of paper to challenge the idea of the finality of the safety structures that we as humans construct for ourselves. The fragility of those structures and the construction of the systems of safety that we create for ourselves I explore and question with the use of paper construction of the symbol of the fence.
Another aspect of my project here at Bamboo Curtain Studio was researching and teaching about “Green” Environmentally and Physically Safe Printmaking Practices. I visited many printmaking studios throughout Taiwan to share experiences and research, teach workshops and give artist talks.
