上下花器抽離了傳統花器原本應有的容量,只剩下線性組織的輪廓,讓東西方傳統花瓶的文化意象模糊。
藉由改變木製的容器位置來改變物件的文化意象:
放置於框架之上時,花草可以是自由舒展如同西方世界文化價值一般,外放的寬闊心胸;
而將木製花器移到下方時:所看到的會是一種微型世界,外框骨架如同三度象限,將綠意圍繞。
一個信手捻來的容器,隨意擺置或上或下,提供不同植物發揮的最佳狀態,
述說著一個東西方不同世界觀的故事。
The vase occupies a pre-eminent position in home culture of both the East and West.
Eastern floriculture emphasizes elegance, incorporating a miniature world view among flowers and plants; even dead wood and fractured stones can symbolize a kind of Zen natural world.
Western floriculture further accentuates and reproduces the flirtatious expressions of the outdoors: resembling one corner in a garden, or a sea of daisy flowers at the base of the Alps in the height of summer.
The New Old Vase disassociates itself from traditional flower ware having an inherent volume, leaving only a linear structure that blurs the cultural imagery of traditional vases of the East and West.
Positioning a receptacle redesigned to one crafted from wood transforms the cultural imagery of the object:
Place the wooden flower ware on top of the linear framework and flowers and plants are free to unfold in the same manner as the outgoing broad-mindedness cultural values of the Western world.
Move the wooden flower ware to the bottom of the linear framework and a miniature world is seen, the outer framework reminds one of a 3D coordinate system surrounding the greenery within.
