The group of sculptures forming the Blindfold Receptor series (2019-present) is inspired by caterpillars of the peppered moth, which have evolved to perceive colour with receptors on their skin. This series features geometric spinal structures that recall both machinery and insect. Whereas Chan had previously used industrial steel supports and plastic wheels covered in marbled clay, Blindfold Receptor (Crawling Jewel-Moss II) (2023) employ glass columns and varieties of green-veined marble that invite more skeletal and biomorphic associations. As the glass structure reflects and refracts light at the same time, it acts as both surface and lustre that constantly changes depending on our point of view. A closer look would also reveal that the sinuous column of transparent omni wheels locked within the glass columns is not as it seems. Less cool to the touch, they are in fact 3D-printed plastic that merely mimic glass. Much like the chameleonic caterpillars that inspired this series, Chan's latest "Blindfold Receptors" not only engage our visual but also tactile senses to decipher different material stimuli. - Text by Joyce Hei-ting Wong
《蒙眼感知器》系列（2019年至今）的作品都是一些几何脊椎结构的雕塑，状似机械也像昆虫，启发自能够透过皮肤感知去变色伪装的桦尺蛾幼虫。艺术家此前运用工业钢支架和塑料轮，但《蒙眼感知器（趴行宝石-青苔II）》（2023）则运用了玻璃构架和不同的绿纹大理石，提供更多与骨骼和生物形态相关的想象。玻璃构架同时反射和折射光线，它的表面和光泽随着我们的视角而不断改变。细看时也会发现固定于构架里的一排滚轮虽然跟玻璃一样清澈，但光泽较逊，触感和温度都有差别，因为它们实则只是3D打印出来的透明塑胶。如同启发这系列的变色毛虫一般，陈丽同最新的"蒙眼感知器"不但激发我们的视觉想象，也引人透过触觉辨别不同材料的本质。——黄熙婷
