Then I was attracted by
the “Drift .Image”, a work created by Raymond PANG. On that day Raymond
was there to explain his work to us. He made an installation according to
several images or thought in his mind over the past 3 years: whales, lotus,
supernova and his departed sister…He told us that he didn't have a
clear plan to link them together at the beginning and he did those work
individually so there were wood and cooper sculptures together with pieces of
drawings on canvas in this artwork. Later on he tried to combine those drift
images, presented them with chains of welded cooper, performed as lotus and
foam on the water. People could easily associate it with the scenes that images
and thought float in human’s brain float.
Though human often have
attitudes and experience that are different from each other, on certain ways we
share same thoughts or ideas toward objects. Just like we may not have
Raymond’s images in our mind, but most of us will understand that the drifting
lotus and foam is the representation of his mind. That’s why human makes art to
express feelings and it is so interesting that when looking at an object,
everyone may come up with certain kinds of meanings. The whale painting
was unfinished, but he decided to stop here due to the subsidence of his
thought. There is no absolute definition that whether an artwork is finished or
not. Especially this art is about one’s changeable mind. He said he might draw
out the rest or even color it, but all depends on his feeling.
Another work he made was a white crystal marble sculpture of a human and whale.
Raymond was keen on whales, and he couldn't explain why. Human just
stick to something that we ourselves don’t know the reason. Again, he brought
the marble before he planned his work. The whole concept is “To
Bend", the human being and whale can live together. I think it is
a big feature of sculptures, to observes and take advantage to the material you
already have.
Two more works:
“The Goal” made by Joe LI, an interactive sculpture that you can
place the man at anywhere, so as to suit your personal status of the progress
of achieving your own goal. The goal can be just on the branches of the trees,
or an uncertain model above the sky. Everyone can choose their position and
there is no right or wrong.
A world map built
with Henry LO’s travel
photographs. 
Henry is a
special member in We Sculptors, as he doesn't work on 3D creation. He is writer who travelled
over the world, uses "the language of photography to spell out love and
mankind". I think the idea of the work is to have a self reflection
about the meaning of travel rather than choosing photos to represent countries
and cities. On the maps Henry told us that used photos in all black to
express there ought to be misimpressions and unknowns in every journey or even in our life, and that’s what we should
learn to accept.
