Just like a stone
lying quietly on a beach
tides will rise and fall
e b b
and
f l o w
Fresh air in the morning
Balmy sunset at the dusk
or a starry night
everything looks so permanent
in the darkness
the s o u l
mingled with indigestible thoughts
let the tide
wash
all
away
…
Just patiently
keep wandering
on your mind.
The tide of the soul explores the traditional slip casting technique in a new light. This series of works have been permanently collected by the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute. The series of works were created through multi-layer slip casting. Traditionally, the slip casting technique is used in mass production, which consists of the interaction between clay and plaster. In this project, the coloured slip has been poured into plaster moulds layer by layer, and with one track after another, the making is the embodiment of the presence of time.
