Background Contemporary textile art focuses on the tactile quality and transformability of textiles. In particular, the burn technique is a sculptural method that expresses the reality of objects and fundamental human emotions from the perspectives of time, traces, extinction, and regeneration. The aim of this study is to explore whether this burnmarks’ artworks can expand aesthetic and artistic possibilities in textile design.
Methods This study examines the development of burnmarks’ artworks in contemporary art and its various applications in contemporary textile art. It considers the meaning of burnmarks and its transformation process through literature, analysing cases from domestic and international artists. Furthermore, it comprehensively analyses the role and significance of burnmarks' traces as index signs based on Charles Peirce's semiotic theory.
Result The artists Ann Hamilton, Chiharu Shiota, and El Anatsui, who portrait the burnmarks’ artworks in their art, view it not merely as destruction but as a connection between disappearance and regeneration, destruction and creation, the past and the present, thereby creating unique visual languages within their respective contexts.
Conclusion ‘Burnmarks’ is an important aesthetic language of contemporary textile art that creates new meanings and is a trace that directly connects reality in artworks according to the concept of indicator symbols in Peirce, and is expected to be a key element in expanding creative expression in the future. |
