Casting glass
26.5cm x 24.5cm x 5cm

My work is from a fragment of Chinese traditional inscription, a beauty of deformity. The work is made and formed by kiln casting, in transparent glass to provoke peoples imaginations and vague associations when looking at the Chinese characters inside. The work uses the transparent glass characteristics thoroughly, getting metal between two glasses and casting, as if the broken calligraphy is sealed up and kept there forever.

The work is not only a deduction of traditional art, but also a reflection of modern art.

I try to use modern glass art to talk to ancient times and calligraphy. Not only an inheritance but also a transition of traditional art into a contemporary meaning.
