Material – Waste Redesign

Experiment 1

Materials: plastics foam, plastic covers, dried flowers, cardboard

原材料:塑料泡沫、塑料盖子、干花、卡纸

This artwork reminds me of the scenery of my middle school every autumn when the campus was covered with leaves.
这个实验装置让我想起,初中的时候,每年秋天校园里会落满树叶。

These purple dried flowers trigger me to think of the leaves flying in the wind. Some of the leaves are intact, but some have been torn.
装置中那些紫色的干花,让我想到风一吹过叶就会漫天飞舞的画面。也让我想到,有些掉落的、飞舞着的树叶还是完好无损的,有些却已经被撕碎。

I like the idea of putting crushed dried flowers on the front and back of the plastic lid. 
我很喜欢在塑料盖子的前后,分别贴上完整的和碾碎干花这个创意。

Experiment 2

Materials: discarded bamboo sticks, dried flowers, broken bracelets, broken pendants

原材料:竹签、干花、坏掉的手链、坏掉的挂饰

One kind of raw material of this artwork is wasted bamboo. These bamboo sticks serve like fences that demarcate the border of plants.
装置的原料之一来自于“串串香”的竹签。这些竹签像篱笆、栅栏一样给院子里花草树木的生长划定了边界。

It provides me a sense of growing plants along the fence in the garden. Just like my yard.
这个装置给予了我一种,在花园中,花草沿着篱笆生长的感觉。就像我家的院子一样。

The feature of this device is that all materials are assembled by splicing.
这个装置的特点在于,所有材料是通过拼接组合起来。

Experiment 3

Materials: waste plastic straw, plastic foam

原材料:塑料吸管、塑料泡沫

Although the corals are colorful, the first color that appears in my mind is blue while thinking about coral. So, blue becomes the main color of the artwork.
我见过的珊瑚虽然是色彩斑澜的,但是每每提到珊瑚,第一个出现在脑海里的颜色都是蓝色(可能是因为海是蓝色的吧)。所以,蓝色就成为了这个装置的主色调。

With straw passing through the crevice of the plastic foam, the plastic foam becomes a coral shape.
而用吸管穿过塑料泡沫的缝隙,塑料泡沫就变成了一个像珊瑚的形状。

If there is only corals in the undersea world, then it would be monotonous. Thus, making and designing some “marine creatures” may improve this artwork.
如果海底世界只有珊瑚那一定会很单调。所以,我还可以用其他材料做一些 “海洋生物”,把它们和 “珊瑚” 组装起来。我也可以想一想,可以如何里中装置中的吸管,来让这个装置变得更有趣。
