Qiān Jīn: Bing 丙, 2024
Crocheted and melted nylon
56cmH x 25cmW
This vase is part of the installation Qiān Jīn, featuring 4 vases inspired by ceramic glaze and the willow-leaf shaped vase. They are named after the first 4 of 10 Celestial Stems, the ancient Chinese ordinal system.
Creating an impression of stacked layers, the number of stitches in each horizontal row is counted and manipulated to form ‘diamond’ line ‘patterns’ on the surface.
