Tension

Review the previous experiments, the forms of clay show its rhythm.

Therefore, I try to find a tension force.

At first, I tentatively peel off the surface of the clay.

After ripping off the surface, what is revealed is not pure black or white, but an ink landscape with clouds and mist.

I try to make paper clay by adding paper to clay slip in an electric mixer.

I pull it apart with force, and a jagged tear created.

As I see it, these are the tension between human body and clay.

The clay records my body movement and strength in its rupture.

We seem oblivious to what we have done to the clay, but the clay records all our body movement and strength.

張力

回顧之前的實驗，陶泥呈現的姿勢訴說着它的律動。

於是，我開始尋找一種拉扯的張力。

最初，我試探性地把表層的陶泥剝離。

用力扯開表層後，顯露的不再是純粹的黑或白色，是一片仿如水墨雲煙的風景。

我試着在泥漿中加入紙張，打成紙黏土。它的斷面是毛毛糙糙的。

我認為，這些都是身體與陶泥之間的張力。

我的撕扯動作和力度，記錄在陶泥的斷裂面中。

我們在泥上做出的動作、所用的力度，我們也許不為意，但泥卻忠實地記錄下來。
