ART CONSERVATION : Explore decay and revival of culture heritages through history, science, material and art.
Hall of Architecture
10/2023 — Present
Pittsburgh, PA, United State
With more than 150 exquisite architectural facades, illustrious monuments, and plaster fragments constructed by artisans, the Hall of Architecture is considered to be the largest 19th-century architectural cast collection in existence. Due to the architecture’s significant historical presence, there has been extensive documentation done for the visual elements, but a thorough comparative analysis of its decay and condition over the years is lacking.
Mogao Grotto
06/2023 — 07/2023
Dunhuang, Gansu, China
“The Mogao Grottoes, a World Heritage Site on the Silk Road, are located near the town of Dunhuang in northwestern China. Dating from the fourth to the fourteenth century, the ancient Buddhist site contains 492 decorated cave temples excavated into 1.6 kilometers of cliff face. The site includes some 45,000 square meters of wall paintings and over 2,400 polychrome sculptures comprising the largest body of Buddhist art in China.”
*the inside of the 196 cave and conservation techniques are confidential to the public thus very little documentation can be shown here. More detail can be view in this documentary where my work is showcased. Please excuse the inconvenience.
