富平是如此庞大，瓷砖厂，果园，宾馆，博物馆都出乎意料。不习惯与许多人一同工作，我自己在角落找个工作地方。大家开始适应环境，我仍然不能相信我已在中国。我真是千头万绪，周边的东西都是素材，各种泥料。我开始素烧了，我的盒子看来烧的不错，我选定一种泥土，坚持用它，看来是对的。我们去了西安，仍然抹不去秦俑的印象。其他的参观也给我的创作一些灵感。大家都在全力工作，也利用工厂能提供的帮忙。博物馆的建造速度惊人。我一往直前，决不反顾。大家做的很不一样，博物馆已在粉刷了，最后一次烧窑，总会有些小差错，但都会过去。最后一晚，一夜会永远忙碌。在开幕式上，我们看来都美好，带着草帽，踏入廊道，想不到有如此多的作品给我们看。
What a surprise to arrive in Fuping to find such a large hotel complex, surrounded by ponds, a garden, rockeries, terracotta sculptures. The studio where we will work is a little further away. We all be pushing it a little to fit ourselves here. The others are setting now, the process begins, and I can not believe I am in China now, breathing Chinese air. A rusty grill inspires me, a mixture of materials to incorporate. I am starting to once-fire now. My boxes look good after firing from the kiln. I look at the kiln, its rhythm, its temperature, its moods, reduction, it really looks as though it’s getting hotter just I am. I continue with the pieces I was working on, which is inspiring me to make circular pieces. I still filled with impressions from the exhibition in Xian, a desire for inscription, for writing, for characters more than for language. The hard work is this evening, or rather tonight. We all look lovely for the opening ceremony, underneath our straw hats. And there is certainly a lot to see. It’s incredible just how much we have explored in our work。 |
