Through handicraft, the craftswoman, Ting Kuan-Yun, infuses her own universe view into her works. At this moment, the works are not only an interface that transfers personal emotions but an extension of people’s thoughts. Therefore, as the self-projected objects of the artist, could they have a consciousness of their own? Would the objects one day be able to spread and extend the memories they share with people? Especially after having a child, the artist started to reconsider how time could infuse into objects.
"The artist treats the house as a container. She believes that humans’ bodies are like objects in life inside this big container. With different times, light, temperatures, and humidity, those seemingly ordinary objects changed accordingly, resulting in gradual physical changes such as mold, dust, deformation, and melting, etc. The objects have changed in the house; whereas we human beings have changed in our thoughts. In this big container, people could see the imprint of feelings and self-condition through these long-standing objects. As our life stages have changed over time, the objects surrounding our life have also transformed into a new shape. With the new life born, the artist’s imagination of the house has also been rearranged, which is like the objects in life having new changes in this container. "
The venue of “Slow Objects” is like a metaphor for a container, enlarging the perception of people’s daily moments. This exhibition has reflected our state of existence through the investigation of the interpersonal cycle and the interdependence among different objects. Hence, “slowness” has become a daily routine: due to slowness, human is aware, objects are changeable, and daily lives are even extraordinary.
