DETAIL

 我的「穀器」表面留有穀類在燒製的過程後所留下的痕跡。我會選擇用穀類創作是因為大部分的文明都是建立在某一種主食的耕作上。我很喜歡思考文化(行為、傳統、藝術等)是如何與農業連結,而特定穀物與不同社會的發展又是如何息息相關。
 

My “Cereal Vessels” show the trace left by a particular type of grain burned into the surface during the firing. I have chosen to use cereals as most civilizations have been built on the cultivation of one staple food crop. I find it very interesting to reflect on how culture (in the sense of behaviors, customs, arts, etc.) is linked to agriculture and how different societies have been developing in close relation with specific grains.
