節盤
Joint Plate / Bamboo Design
一根竹管的無窮開展:如其在內,如其在外;如其在上,如其在下。
本創作以原始竹管的兩端為軸心,將竹管均分剖開後,削切成片,削薄後具有彈性的竹篾從中心竹管向外放射展開,不間斷地成了上下兩端盛器的經緯線,在細膩的「松葉編法」中成為器型。
《節盤》應用竹節與竹子空心特徵,發揮其獨有天生、似草似木的雙重特質,藉以創造內與外、空心竹管與竹編盛器兩者並存的使用與交會空間。不論是從置物上的實用功能,亦或創作上的設計思考,都能感受其中由一而生乃至幻化無限的魅力。
A bamboo tube goes on infinitely: as on its inside, so at the outside; as above the tube, as below the tube.
This work is based on the two ends of the bamboo tube as the axes. Split the bamboo tube evenly and cut it into thin and flexible strips, which expand outwards from the tube, functioning as the warp and weft. Apply the “pine-needle weaving method” and make it into a vessel.
“Joint Plate” takes advantage of the characteristics of bamboo joints and bamboo’s hollowness, demonstrating the material’s quality: Although it’s grass, they are tree-like in appearance. The designer aims to create a space presenting both the interior and the exterior and an object which is both a hollow bamboo tube and a bamboo-woven container. Whether from its practical function or the creative thinking behind it, the user will realize the fascination of this work as it emerges from oneness and transforms into infinite possibilities.
