leaves of words

"一葉寄語words of leaves"

與其無休止地等待別人給你建造一個「國際級」的藝術空間，

不如用我們的雙手來發掘藝術在生活中的可能性。

這個計劃邀請觀眾在西九的天空下一起進行創作。

每張明信片記錄著創作者當下的心境。

由葉子造成的顏料，更把人與身處的環境緊密地連繫起來。

就讓一片葉子帶領我們到一個不可預知的國度，把藝術的驚喜帶進生活中。

no more waiting for the "world class" art space, let's discover art in everyday life!
this project invites everyone to create some art under the sky of west kowloon.

every postcard is a record of your mind.
the paint formulated by leaves gently bring you and the environment closer.
let the leaves spread your words to the unknown destinations,
and let art surprise us

see you.

home: lesson one

“Home: Lesson One” reveals how the idea of home is being reshaped by the current wave of development in China. The work is a sound clip of a computer synthesized voice pronouncing a text extracted from the Beijing property adverts I collected while I lived there. Listening to these thousands of words, one learns a new concept of the so-called "ideal home" in Beijing – its price, resale value, location, and proximity to schools and transport. How are these new ideas of "home" shaping the future of China? Perhaps this is a compulsory lesson for every generation in the new society in China.

looking at the wall

A wall is built in front us; yet it is not a wall to block us from the nature, rather it is a wall to encourage us to reach the environment we live in new perspective. It has more than thirty people contributed to this project with the leaves they brought into the studio; the time and effort spent on grinding; and the mindfulness in seeing the “oneness” of this universe.

note: This is a collaborative work of nearly 40 people from the larger Lingnan community. They were instructed by the artist in making the paint with leaves, but no limitation on the content of their creation on the wall.
