b The so-called technique refers to the author's handling of image and space in wood carving creation. This technique is mainly reflected in carving and engraving in the sense of reduction. To be precise, from the outside to the inside, step by step, by subtracting waste materials, the form is gradually revealed. In the repeated subtraction modeling, we not only experience the surprise of the work coming out of its shell, but also feel the special charm produced by various knife techniques.
