Xi Cai in her studio Video 1 of 12 Wu Ji Infinity Within Series (Cai Xi Silver)

Xi Cai (pronounced shee tsai) doing her Wu Ji (Infinity Within) Series in her studio, enamel on canvas using mops and trowels, in Brattleboro Vermont. This ongoing series of neo-calligraphy contemporary Chinese enamel on canvas works are entitled Wu Ji - translated as Infinity Within. Wu means nothingness. Ji means infinite. Together, it is Infinity Within. This word for infinity has been popularized in Tai Chi (also rendered as taiji) - meaning the Great Infinite and referring to the movement and dance for health that originated as martial arts routines. Chinese traditional breathing exercise (qigong) and tai ji exercise has helped me channel energy when I paint. Qigong is an aspect of traditional Chinese medicine that focuses on the energy and flow within and around the body. Tai ji movement relates to the endless movement of the Great (tai) Infinity (ji). On occasion Cai presents painting performances for the public as part of the Wu Ji series. For more information including updates on future events related to the Wu Ji paintings and painting performances, contact the C.X.
