planting

planting I
種 I

Finland Metro Newspaper
芬蘭都市日報
2009

The title “Planting” came after a conversation with my friend when I described the
progress of installation to her. “Planting” seems to be the best word to illustrate
t
he entire process. This project started about a year ago here in Helsinki when
darkness came in late autumn. I don’t remember when, where and how I first learnt
to make them. It came almost intuitively when I started to think of making something
with the Metro Newspaper I collected. The process was done partly in public spaces
and partly in my studio. The work is the “fruit” of personal experience interwoven with
the lives of a city and the participation of audience.

在組裝作品時,與朋友戲言把花一朵一朵置於地上,過程仿似種植一樣
,非常耗時間
作品最後亦名為「種」。創作始於一年前的十月,在芬蘭遇上使我鬱抑和寒冷的深秋。
黑暗與孤寂為這作品播下了種子。我不曾記得在那裡、那時和如何學會造這個花,但它
很不經意便從我的手裡「長」出來。
花,帶來喜悅和希望,可能是我對未來的寄語。我
選擇在公共空間進行創作,通過作品與城市發生對話。

snow

all started with the concept of acupuncture.

if a city is like our body, where should I insert the needles in helsinki? and how can the "blockage" be cleared with my needles to retrieve its balance? my solution is this heart-warming message on snow... who will smile when they saw the message?

the project was done from nov 08 for a workshop.

By shedding away the glaring colors and attracting form, the strange creatures bonded with the trees and become part of the nature.
