剡木入字 Slice Wood Into The Typeface

"Slice wood into the awakened" from Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi", where the Slice wood phase into the surplus into the virtual that the bamboo shoots, Therefore, there are bamboo shoots head of the words, the word itself is talking about tenon, say "awakened" into "word" is the name of the work. "Artifact" not only in the form of formal language reflects the understanding of the ancients of formal beauty, but also through the tangible "device" to convey the invisible "Road", thus breaking the "utensils" universal material meaning, to achieve the spirit of the pursuit of the spirit of life. Artifacts are presented to the user while presenting the author's intentions. But now most of the artifacts are made by the machine cold, too packaging or publicity, the producers do not mind, the same users do not care. "In people's imagination, the artifacts are short-lived, but only to meet the needs of the moment, or cause temporary attention and produced. Poor quality, packaging kitsch, can not be long-term use." The relationship between people and objects loose and easy Off, quickly fill the required, quickly abandoned.People 's "feelings" of artifacts come from a moment' s needs, love at first sight, brand or price, but this emotion is easy to be replaced, too many temptations and too many alternatives. It is hard to have a beautiful object that keeps you from being used all day long. So we extract the symbolic meaning from the tenon, and as a basis for the creation of works.
“剡木入窍”出自许慎的《说文解字》，凡剡木相入，以盈入虚谓之笋，以虚入盈谓之卯。故俗有笋头卯之语，词意本身就是讲榫卯，讲“窍”改成“字”便是作品的名字。“器物”不仅以形式语言的形式体现古人对形式美的认识，更通过有形之“器”传达无形之“道”，从而突破了“器物”的普遍物质意义，达到追求人生价值的精神意境。器物在呈现制作者意图的同时，也将制作者的心情传递给使用者。但如今大部分器物被机器冷冰冰地制作，被过度包装或宣传，制作者不用心，同样使用者也不用心。“在人们的想象中，器物是短命的。只不过是为了满足一时之需要，或是引起暂时的注意而制作的。品质粗劣，包装媚俗，无法长期使用。”人与器物的关系松散且易断，迅速填满所需之后，迅速被抛弃。人们对器物的“感情”大多来自一时之需、一见钟情般的外观喜爱、品牌抑或价格，但这种情感很容易被替代，太多的诱惑以及太多的替代品。想要一件美丽的物件能够让你一直留在身边日日相伴使用，是很难的。所以我们从榫卯中提取器物象征意义，并以此作为基础创作作品。
