Technical Sketch
|
The concept is for this collection continues the " Memory repetition" concept. It is an extension of the ‘THE GEARS OF MEMORY’ collection and an attempt to the commercial direction. I still use cogs to express my concept, because as the power of the clock, cogs can be the carrier of the time itself. The turning cogs are just like the running time, and the running time will take people’s memory away. I try to looking for the special relation between memory and time.
The cogs which turn around and fit each other can be seen as the part of ‘repetition’ just like our memory. Meanwhile, the different sizes and layer also represent the jumpy and complex of people’s memory. The movement of the piece make people get lost and become the traveller through the time and memory.
For this collection, I use different color of acrylic and silver or gold plated brass as the material. The whole collection includes one ring and one brooch which including meshing transmission mechanism, one ring and one pair of earring which including rotating mechanism. All of these piece have five colour option: transparent, transparent blue, frosted blue, frosted white and frosted pink.
Also I make a one off piece which is a meshing transmission bow tie.
这系列作品继续了‘记忆重复’的概念。依旧选用齿轮为主要元素来诠释我的灵感。是‘时间之轮’系列的延伸,以及向商业方向发展的尝试。齿轮作为时钟的动力与组成部分,本身就可以称之为时间的携带者。齿轮的传动就如同时间的流逝,而时间的流逝则会带走人们的记忆。我试图找寻记忆与时间之间存在的特殊联系。相互啮合转动的齿轮成为了‘重复’的一部分,如同我们不断被回忆起的记忆。与此同时,不同规格和层叠的齿轮诠释了人们记忆的复杂与跳跃。而这系列首饰的动态则将给予人们代入感,使人们成为迷失在时间与记忆中的旅行者。
这个系列的作品,我选用镀金或镀银的黄铜结合不同色彩的亚克力作为材料。整个系列包括一个包含啮合传动结构的戒指,一个包含啮合传动结构的胸针,以及含有简单旋转结构的戒指和耳钉。每件首饰都有五种色彩选择:透明,透明蓝,雾面蓝,雾面白以及雾面粉。同时,这个系列还包含一件可以啮合传动的领结。
