A Brocade of Images: Landscapes and Figures in Tapestry and Embroidery
「鏤繪集錦──緙繡山水人物特展」
緙絲以簡單的平紋木機，採通經斷緯織造。先將紋樣描繪在經面上，依畫稿所需的各色絲線，分別裝進梭槽中，按圖案設計，來回穿梭於圖形的經線之間，周圍留下鋸齒狀的空隙，因此緙絲又稱為「刻絲」，是「無中生有」的工藝。刺繡則在已有的地組織，如：絹、綾、綢、緞等絲織品上，鈎描花紋圖案，再以針引線，將圖案繡出，可喻為「錦上添花」之作。
「鏤繪集錦──緙繡山水人物特展」的視覺設計以織線技法為靈感，把技法圖樣作為元素加入於主視覺中，並結合此次展出的古品拼貼之作，運用拼貼設計手法產生虛實意境之間的對話。標題文字同以呼應織線，做出筆畫扁長的文字設計。傳統緙絲及刺繡作品的特點是顏色鮮豔多彩且複雜，不過展出的作品因為年代久遠飽和度呈現已經不若以望，所以在主視覺設計上，運用鮮豔飽和的顏色輔以簡約的幾何、色塊等風格搭配展出作品的細節共同呈現，讓整體畫面感受更為現代有新意，也呼應緙繡作品在剛完成時應有的豔麗、飽滿視覺感受。
而為了讓整體視覺系統更連貫與豐富，此次設計也將部分刺繡技法單獨挑出，發展成各自的Pattern形式，來強調這次展覽的以緙絲及刺繡為主題的特點，呼應傳統藝術之美。
「鏤繪集錦──緙繡山水人物特展」主視覺設計上選擇展現古繡技法，呼應展題將刺繡技法發展成Pattern形式融入。以簡約的幾何、色塊等風格，融合了本展的古繡作品圖拼貼呈現，標題以扁長的文字搭配刺繡主題，並還原緙繡作品的鮮豔飽和色澤。
