replica of stones
porcelain replicas studying surface, weight, color, and attention.
研究石頭表面、重量、色彩的瓷土仿真物。
project overview
this work was part of a class assignment: each student selected an everyday object and recreated it in ceramic with as much accuracy as possible. i chose a simple stone. quiet, understated, and easy to overlook, yet the longer i observed it, the more details emerged: tiny speckles, irregular patches of color, softened edges shaped by time, and subtle shifts in surface sheen.
這件作品是課堂作業的一部分：每位學生選擇一件日常物件，並盡可能精確地用陶瓷重新製作。我選了一顆很普通的石頭。它安靜、不起眼，很容易被忽略，但當我花更多時間觀察它，便開始注意到更多細節：細小的斑點、不規則的色彩變化、被時間磨圓的邊緣，以及表面光澤細微的變化。
process & experiments
over nearly three months, i conducted repeated material and technical tests, including comparing different clay bodies and textures; testing layered stains, pigments, and slips; simulating surface grain, matte variation, and worn edges; adjusting shape, proportion, and weight; and going through multiple cycles of firing and refinement. the process became a quiet study of attention, an attempt not only to copy an object, but to understand the relationship between material, time, and detail.
在將近三個月的時間裡，我反覆進行各種材料與技術上的測試，包括比較不同的陶土與質地；嘗試疊加不同的染料、顏料與泥漿；模擬石頭表面的紋理、霧面變化與被磨損的邊緣；調整形狀、比例與重量，並經歷多次燒製與修改。 這個過程慢慢變成了一次安靜的觀察練習。我不只是想把一顆石頭複製得像，而是想透過它去理解材料、時間與細節之間的關係。
artistic reflection
although it began as a class assignment, this project deeply influenced the way i work. It taught me a slower, more attentive way of looking. it also made me notice the quiet forms and marks that are often overlooked.
this sensitivity later carried into my projects the quiet stone and the floating stones, allowing me to approach materials with greater clarity and emotional precision.
雖然這件作品一開始只是課堂作業，但它深深影響了我後來的創作方式。它讓我學會用更慢、更專注的方式去觀看，也讓我開始注意那些經常被忽略的安靜形態與細微痕跡。 這種對細節的敏感，後來也延續到 the quiet stone 和 the floating stones 這兩件作品裡，讓我能更清楚、更細膩地去感受材料，也更準確地處理作品中的情緒。
