Souvenir series / GAEA exhibition
A collection is an act of inspiration of its owner. Anyone may have the desire to collect and own natural objects such as pebbles or shells that twinkle in the water. Natural objects that we pass by casually are masses that condense over long periods of time. The resulting images, masses, shapes, textures, and colors are created by changes in the environment. Each mass has its own appearance, creates a unique atmosphere, and contains a story.
The Souvenir Series started with the idea to borrow an elusive mass of time from nature as a design approach. Based on collected natural objects, the shape of the source is respected, hardened, and preserved as a solid possession, but the sculpture is made by adding lines and clumps that spread like water streams. Each mass with added permanence is reconstructed for its use and the simple existence of itself.
These works were also part of the Gaea exhibition, curated by New York-based designer Farrah Sit, at the TRNK Gallery.
About the GAEA exhibition
Whether made from silk, stone, or ceramic, the works presented by the nine female designers in GAEA share a similar desire to question our preconceived notions of form, drawing parallels to the multifaceted experience of womanhood. The objects are uncompromising, yet each designer approaches her chosen medium with an undeniable grace. More competing dualities emerge - soft yet strong, sharp and smooth, fragile but unyielding - subverting our expectation of both concept and material. And perhaps, of how we see ourselves and how we are perceived.
