farming-net collection(农网收集)

for Carpenters Workshop Gallery

A collection of sculptural objects made by heat-forming agricultural nets ordinarily placed around fruit and vegetables to prevent them from harm by wind and animals. The nets are stronger than organdy but more flexible than wire mesh. Using them as a sculptural material allowed us to evade the traditional necessity of combining structure with a separate surface material, to create a thin membrane that stands independently, but also floats gently on a breeze. The flower vase and bowl wrap the air like a furoshiki Japanese wrapping cloth. The lamp softly emits light, in the manner of a traditional Japanese paper lantern. The multiply-pleated table are reminiscent of the surface of Japanese shibori (tye-dying) textiles and hand-made paper.

通过热成型农业网制成的雕塑物品的集合，通常放置在水果和蔬菜周围，以防止它们受到风和动物的伤害。网比强力网强，但比金属丝网更灵活。使用它们作为雕塑材料使我们能够避免将结构与单独的表面材料结合在一起的传统必要性，以创建一个独立的薄膜，但也可以在微风中轻轻地漂浮。花瓶和碗包裹空气像furoshiki日本包装布。灯以日本传统纸灯的方式轻柔地发光。多层褶皱表让人联想到日本shibori（染色）纺织品和手工纸的表面。

The action of gently wrapping something and close attention to the texture of the surface endow these objects with the very particular sense of expression found only in Japan, since ancient times.

轻轻包裹东西并密切注意表面纹理的动作赋予这些物体以及仅在日本发现的非常特殊的表达感，自古以来。
