Clay : Sculpture and Spirit 土裡陶氣

NATURE 大自然
Soil and Pottery
Looking around the city that we are living in, the rapid urban development deprives our beautiful nature and damaged our environment. Soil, as a member of the nature, is chosen by the artists to make ceramics artwork, so that the artwork can awake the people to the importance of nature. At the same time, it reminds people to look at their positions and responsibilities in the natural environment.
從陶藝看“自然”
環顧我們居住的城市，都市的急促發展剝奪了大自然之美好，加劇了對環境的破壞。泥土是大自然的一員，藝術家通過大自然取材，利用泥土做成陶瓷來喚醒人們對自然的重視，同時審視人類於自然環境中所處的位置及責任。
Artist:
Fiona, Wong Lai Ching:
Nature admiring artist
Wong works mostly with nature theme. Using soil as the basic element, she makes it into mud tiles and designs into different things in nature such as leaves, birds, feathers and flowers. Wong attaches great importance in the structure of the arrangement works and patchwork components because it reflects the law of nature. Wong believes that people living in a stressful life under the busy city are physically and mentally fatigued. She encourages people to leave the hustle and bustle of the city and return to the serenity of nature.

 Golden Camellia-Face of Nature- Artist polished the pottery pieces into leaves shape and put pieces together as a symbol of the earth round showing the simple natural style and awakening the audience's perception and appreciation of nature. Living in metropolitan life, we have neglected the beautiful nature. Through these artworks, we can re-examine our relationship with the nature, and think about how to strike a balance between urbanization and environmental protection. |  Emerging Mountains-Let’s embrace the nature again!- Taking Hong Kong’s terrain as Emerging Mountains’ blueprint, Wong gave the mountain texture and weight by using clay. Coupled with lighting effect, the whole is more real and three-dimensional. Wong expresses her respect to nature by putting her love of landscape into her artwork. Through this, the audience hopefully can remember the long-forgotten mountains and embrace the nature again. |
