Weaving Intimacy: Body Lives by MAN Fung-yi = 文鳳儀：編織親密－身體線 / Henrietta Tsui; Edited by Galerie Ora-Ora

Summarization of Content

Monograph published on the occasion of Man Fung-yi's solo show:  Weaving Intimacy: Body Lines organised by Galerie Ora-Ora in 2009. 

The series Weaving Intimacy shows the contrasts between the delicacy and softness of worm clothing in the artist's family wardrobe and the rigidity and hard texture of steel and brass. Man explores how the smell and touch of clothes are keys that can unlock personal memories, and the privacy and intimacy of clothing are rarely comprehensible to others. Clothes record and carry history of a person at a certain time and place. Man's metallic "second skins" solidify these memories in the durable strength of metal, in order to protect and immortalise the intimate and valuable memories.
