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.

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.

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.

Dream of Nature

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.

Submission for the Tamar Public Arts Projects: Shortlisted Entry

 

On the city’s “Green Carpet” alongside the pedestrian walkway, there stand an artwork resembling a big tree. A group of vertical glass panels with silkscreen pattern of leaves are installed in parallel setting. The panels overlapped one another to form the volumetric mass of the tree canopy. The silkscreen pattern adopts the silhouette of tree leaves of the fifty common local trees in Hong Kong. Passing amid it, it seems that I become part of the tree body. Through the shiny green crown canopy and the opening of the “Gateway”, I view the world. The sky separated into small slices, which show different shades of light in lapse of time.

Bamboo Commune 个園
​2010
 

Submission for the Tamar Public Arts Projects: Shortlisted Entry

 

The bamboo commune is made of a group of triangular mirror-surface stainless steel posts. “Ge” also means a person in Chinese. He stands in the commune surrounded by bamboos. The most interesting part can be found by sitting on the designated stools; the person stays close to a group of bamboo posts with their mirror surfaces facing directly towards him, looking at his mirror reflections from different angles all at the same time. His self-confidence interacts with the bamboos in the commune. “Ge ge” means two or more people in Chinese. They wander in the commune. Those sitting on the stools are static, contrasts with other people and sceneries moving around. They switch back and forth from being a spectator to a participant.

Sport Rock 動之石
​2012
 

Submission for the TKO Park Arts Projects: 

 

To challenge one’s limits and leave a mark in human history are the ultimate goals of every sport. This work is inspired by traditional Chinese literati admiration of rocks, usually placed in the courtyard and study. Unlike the naturally polished rocks by water, this piece of concrete sculpture is casted by hands. During the form-making process, various kinds of sports equipments (such as soccer, tennis rack, etc.) were molded into the block and were removed after the piece was set. Negative spaces (that resembles the ‘holes’ on rocks) were created to express the force of sports action. When scholar’s rock cultivates mind, this public sculpture celebrates the never give up spirit, free will and self-discipline. 

Under a Tree 大樹下

Submission for the MTR Public Arts Projects: Shortlisted Entry

 

>Meeting friends at the MTR station concourses is the collective experience of the daily life of many urban people especially young people.

>Tree, is the oldest form of human dwelling, and a landmark too. Its shade provides shelter and is a distinctive point for gathering.  

The concept of this sculptural work takes the urban experience of meeting at the MTR concourse. We design a green leisurely meeting point: under a colorful tree.

The canopy is made of enamel steel panel; the materials and colors of the tree leaves match with the enamel wall panels used for of each MTR stations in Hong Kong. The sculpture is not only compatible with the surrounding environment; its permeability of the features also meets the needs of ventilation purposes.

The work symbolizes the harmonious coexistence between man and nature and the happy vision of dating under the sky.

The daily Life in Toilet:

For many people, the daily practice in the toilet is the most sacred moment in their daily life. Mostly alone, they are forced to face themselves. And those daily practices is highly repetitive, like brushing teeth, makeup... It is naturally closer to the status of meditation. Those cloud be a toilet Zen.

The juxtaposition of the daily practice image and a spiritual setting explain each other.

日常的衛生間:

對於很多人來說,在廁所的日常是他們生活中最神聖的時刻。獨自一人,他們被迫面對自己。那些活動是高度重複的,就像刷牙,化妝...... 自自然接近冥想的狀態。這可叫為廁所禪。

映像與裝置是互為解釋的並置。

“DOOM” is a three–dimensional first person shooter from the early 90s. 

This piece is to materialize artifacts form the Virtual Reality in physical reality. The objects are created based on the logic and wireframe of the software- generated world and textured with real world materials. This excise attempts to reverse the order of reality and Virtual Reality, hence to create some “retro–realistic” artifacts. 

「DOOM」是90年代一款初期三維射擊遊戲。

以虛擬空間的建構邏輯,在現實中重建。只有表皮沒有體量。盡量忠於原來物件的「真實」物料。而且先有虛擬,後有真實。故此,這不是一件雕塑,而是一件逆雕塑。再以逆雕塑及具虛擬性的真實空間創作擬晃遊戲的錄像。

Humorous Field -
Field to Humour
幽默地誌-- 地致幽默       
2016

During Lingnan University Artist-in-Residence 

This is an experiment in spatial humour, and this assumption of humour can be applied to any urban space.

Two straight lines were laid on the map of Tuen Mun. They would become the premises of this experiment. Exploring the two fixed paths, the artist observes and discovers potential humour along the route. This methodology was adapted from census data collection of marine life, in which marine biologists follow a selected transect across the sea floor and record the species of plants and sea animal encountered

Ringing the edge of Lingnan University west facade, next to the bus station, is a small trail of what looks like the concrete base of a metal fence. This slap of concrete rests on a bed of green and flowers, looking as if it is a runway.

University is a place for expanding horizons, where heritage meets inventions. In the form of a public sculpture proposal, I am proposing to build a pathway on the concrete base symbolizing the spirit that leads one to explore new territories.

嶺南大學大門對出巴士站旁的混凝土基座,應是原來地界的鐵絲網遺址。由於上面缺乏泥土,草木不長,看上去如一條跑道。

 

大學仍開拓新知識的場所,為過去的文化添新領域。這是一個公共雕塑提案,在舊有的邊界上開設新道路新領域。

The power of one person: How great that could be? The archi- tect uses his full efforts and resources to improve the environ- ment of his hometown, in three phases, for which he designates this project as “Hometown Trilogy”. The principle is similar to acupuncture, in faith that a small stimulation of one’s own could have a ripple effect to influence the minds of the fellow villag- ers. 

一個人的力量有多大?建築師嘗試以一人之力、一人所有之資源, 在他所能所及的地方,以三部曲的形式作出小改善;以小處影響 大,如針灸的原理,去改變一班人的想法。

“A Hometown Trilogy” is a work showing in Venice Architecture Biennale: Artist mingled around his hometown and found some improvement that he can finish with his own power and resourc- es. Like the principle acupuncture, pinpoint an area to stimulate changes.

Part 4: Kwan Loong is the conclusion of the above project. (Search, neighborhood cleanup, soil, ancestry, community, su- perstition, memory) The artist found a wooden gate demolished from a traditional house was decaying. He transformed it into a chair that can listen to the sound of the earth and tell its stories.

Professional gamblers are careful about where they do their betting. The place needs to be cherry–picked. Beneath the Tuen Mun Station Bridge, next to the riverside, is an open area with a beautiful summer breeze, different shades of green, fishes dancing in the river and not a lot of traffic. Telling from what is left behind, those who gamble here must be very lucky.

對於專業賭徒,賭馬、度馬及賽事進行時所處的地點,都是精心挑選的。西鐵屯門站尾橋㡳河邊 ,要風有風,要水有水,有草有魚,沒有人流,卻比鄰西鐵站。縱觀當時的地方與物件,這位賭徒應該是贏了

Pavement surface markings are mostly stretched in perspective of the road users to increase legibility. These road markings indicate directions.

Here, the road markings on the bicycle trail were put diagonally, against the direction of the lanes. I had to zigzag my way across the trail. I regret causing inconvenience to other road users. 

路面上的文字及圖像指示,由於透視關係,都是特意拉長的。只有從特定⻆度看圖像才正常,這便從側面指示了前進方向!如果圖形須轉90度,應重新設計。否則與行進方向有誤。
