The Huge Soap is a sculpture on itself. As audiences wash their hands, the huge soap dissolves and transforms gradually into a basin. It is the audiences sculpt a sculp- ture into another. Transform everyday objects into sculp- tures, the making are repetitive and require extreme mental focus. Pushing body to its limit, as my meditation
Toilet paper, soap and washbasins also refer to the place of a toilet; It is my recent exploration of one person space. Whether origin and production process of this piece, is also a meditation and auto-therapy.

Toilet paper, Stainless Steel 厠紙, 不銹鋼
Size variable 尺寸可變
This work minimizes the sense of “touch” to a readymade object that can still be named a sculpture. Even though the visual presenta- tion is subtle, the amount of work is extensive. Three layers of the toilet paper are first unrolled and separat- ed. Then, the whole central layer was hand-cut with a pattern segment by segment. Finally, the three layers were re-rolled to return to its original form. The appearance is not much different from the original object, but the nature of the object is completely changed.

The Huge Soap is a sculpture on itself. As audiences wash their hands, the huge soap dissolves and transforms gradually into a basin. It is the audiences sculpt a sculp- ture into another. 巨大的肥皂本身已是一個雕塑,當觀眾在這個巨 大的肥皂上洗手,把 它慢慢地地溶解成一個洗手 盤,把一個雕塑造成另一個雕塑。
Transform everyday objects into sculp- tures, the making are repetitive and require extreme mental focus. Pushing body to its limit, as my meditation. 從日常物品中轉化、過程重複、精神極度集中 。 我視這些把身體 推至極致的活動為一種精神上的 修煉。
Toilet paper, soap and washbasins also refer to the place of a toilet; It is my recent exploration of one person space. Whether origin and production process of this piece, is also a meditation and auto-therapy. 厠紙、肥皂及都洗手盤暗示了洗手間的場域,是 我近期對一個人的 空間的探索。 無論是這些作品 的緣起及製作過程都是一種冥想及 自療。

這作品賞試以最少的”觸碰”把一件現成物轉 化成一件雕塑。儘 管視覺呈現是微妙的,工作 卻很繁複:把厠紙的三層分別展開。然後, 整 層中間層以手工剪剪成圖案。最後,將三層厠 紙重新捲繞以返回 到其原點。看似和當初沒什 麼兩樣,本質上卻跟本地改變了。

What is rainbow?
An arch of concentric coloured bands (conventionally described as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) visible in the sky in a direction opposite to the sun when sunlight shines through rain or other water droplets in the atmosphere.

Writing by Nature
2002
Bronze, Steel, Feather, ink,
This work captures the movement of nature and transforms the ‘written statement’ by nature as visible traces. Here the nature has a first person narrative to speak/write. Such process is certainly spiritual but unlike a divination performance; the resulting traces provide the viewers some clues to interpret the ‘written messages’. It is through such interaction with nature that I wish my work could communicate with the public.

Sugar Treasure 糖寶圖
2010
Sugar, Water Guns, Steel and Wood
Sugar cubes building blocks compose the fairy tale Candyland – a white, imaginary landscape of old, vanishing architecture in pass Hong Kong.
Participants are invited to use water gun. In other words, the building vanishes n the passage of time.
An object can be found hidden inside the building. In order to search for that object, participants need to search over, demolish part of or even the entire block. It symbolizes the paradox of preservation and curiosity.
The project is therefore a journey to the memorable past. And the story has open end.
Co-create with Chan Yuen Lai, Winnie, Leung Chi Hoi Calvin and Siu Kwok Kin Stanley.

Photo Waving, Digital Images on Photo Paper
Sugar Treasure is an installation in this year’s Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture, 2011.
The photo weaving collages are the juxtaposition of the “sugar building” at different time of the exhibition. The completeness and in-completeness of the sugar building compress the whole process, and highlight the process of the “destructions”, as well as our memory.
Co-create with Chan Yuen Lai Winnie, Leung Chi Hoi Calvin and Siu Kwok Kin Stanley.

Dream of Nature
2013
Ceramic Pillow
The joy of ceramic making is that it requires a lot of repetitive works and demands energy and skills to work with hands and heart; it is somehow similar to mediation.
Ceramic pillow is a unique traditional Chinese artifact for sleep. It is often designed with elegant forms and decorations that symbolize happiness and other wisdoms in life. In this piece, I like to make a pillow for beauty sleep and good dream about nature. It is in the form of a brunch of grasses and has pointed edges towards the person’s head as one lies down on the pillow.
