富平第一印象

      I found Fuping pottery art village as a very interesting and attractive place. The collection of contemporary ceramic art in the museums is very impressive. Working facilities are well-organized. It is a honor to be invited here. I believe that staying and working in Fuping will influence strongly to my artistic work in the future, too. Everyone in factory and in hotel has taken good care of me and my every need. Especially I want to thank all interpreters. Their help has been very valuable in every situation. I have really enjoyed my visit in China.

作品自述

      I have always been fascinated by the beauty and perfection of the seed pods. Forms of the two of my main works I made in Fuping are based upon observations of the seed pods, which I found In Fuping pottery art village.

The first seed pod is closed and unfriendly. The second is open and invites the visitor to touch. Seeds inside of this pod are marked by words: I, you, she, he. Both of the seed works describe different attitudes towards the world – the open-minded and the aggressive ones. In these works the focus is on the communication between human beings. There are different ways to communicate to others for example friendly and aggressive.

      The other seed pod opens up to another possibility to communicate as every visitor can make his or her own version of the work by moving seeds inside the pod, and in this way communicate directly with the sculpture. For me the communication is an essential part of art. Both of my works are coil built, the technique I often use.

 

      曼陀罗（stramonium）的美丽和完美一直使我入迷，我在富平创作的两部主要作品的造型基于我对在富平陶艺村中发现的曼陀罗的观察。

      第一颗曼陀罗是闭合和冷漠排外的，而第二颗是开放的，它邀请游客触摸它，在豆荚里面的种子以几个单词作为印记，那就是你，我，她，他。这两种作品描述出不同的世界观——开放的思想和守旧的思想。这些作品注重人与人之间的交流。用不同方式与他人交流，例如友好和敌对。

      另一颗开口的曼陀罗提供了另一种交流手段，它使每一位参观者能够通过把种子移到豆荚中从而对作品提出他或她自己的见解和评议，这样就可以直接地与雕刻作品交流。对于我来说，交流是艺术的重点部分。我的两部作品都是螺旋状的，我经常使用这种创作手法。
