Nowadays, the aesthetics of geometry is an interest  which can hardly be found among young people.even though

a lot of people are using crystal as decoration or as a talisman. But they don't understand, exactly because

the strong inner order of geometry's construction of a crystal, so that endues it with crystalline consistency and form,

and alludes some kind of approach which is close to the will of the author of all beings, therefore invoking

the immense aesthetics and gaining a kind of spirituality. That is a will against the chaos of this world. a wish which  

wants to understand the inner rationality of the world.

In Tang Yi's installation series, the spaces made of light, lines and shadows, have the regularity of mathematics

and the form of abstractness, and seem to want to demonstrate the secret formula hiding in  those spaces.

A lot of formulas can be made in such spaces, but they need an opportunity to get forms, as million inevitabilities

which are potentially suffusing around us and resting on a concrete occasionality to get their forms.

Therefore, when Tang Yi is using lines to create a lot of images on paper, what she is doing, is not only like

Paul Klee said , "using a line to promenade", but even also expanding the rational demonstration towards

the sensibility of a moment.

According to this practice, she is actively responding to the ideal of earlier modernism;the metaphysic spirit

within Suprematism and Constructivism.But what is preciously about Tang Yi's formulas, is that it is not dull and dry,

it always sensibly and sited, just as  one title of her work: "Sentiment is Supreme"

For a long time geometrical abstract art was covered by misunderstandings, this is almost the best clarification.

In one end of a line, it connect the secrets of the world, and on the another end, it connects with our bodies.
