sm2261-installation 02, series of waste of art #1-My Cup of Shan Shui




After the molding of gypsum, a cup of waste gypsum was remained. Time ran so fast, it was getting harder and harder. But the waste formed as an installation too, it was interesting and sarcastic that I liked the “waste” more than the one I just molded. The physicality is quite contradictive; it is hard in shape, but soft in movement, something like a waterfall or landscape, like the Chinese Shan Shui painting.


Took it back home, and made my Shan Shui sculpture by water color. I kept the cup too because I can keep “it was a waste” and make it close to our life. I think I will continue the series of waste of art, which is reflective and meaningful to me.

  1. The lava like lime really looks similar to the chinese painting, and also it is in 3D. I think it would be interesting if it's bigger and painted with ink in different concentration.

  2. 你用本來剩下的材料再創作出新的作品,這個立體的「山水畫」很有趣,如果只以墨水去把石膏填色,會更接近傳統山水畫。下一個作品可以更著意去塑造山和水的形態。

  3. 這個藝術家有一系列的 Tiny World 跟你的杯裝山水有共通的地方。

  4. It is a good idea to use the rest of materials to create an artwork. I agree with what Apple say, it is better to use Chinese Painting skill to complete this work. -Jane
