Paper Ball: A Prelude
2024
Paper fibre and pulp, PVA, polystyrene, paint. Ball: 77cm diameter
From a personal collection of Western literature texts, dictionaries, writing guides, and manuscripts emerges the repeating older written form of the eight fundamental trigrams of natural elements and cosmic forces from the ancient book of Iching.
The work is temporarily installed next to the book return cabinets near the exit of National Taiwan University Library as the centre piece of the solo show A Game of Words in December, 2024. The mass of words gathered and freed and traveling raises the question: As we pour our life’s time into the shapes of words, what kind of landscapes are we creating and carrying with us?
