About The Legacy of the Art Tree Muurhangende Kunswerk

Die Nalatenskap van die Kunsboom is 'n muurhangende kunswerk geïnspireer deur die ou bome wat langs historiese geboue in Taiwan staan. Die kroon is gevorm met pavé-settegnieke en gebruik wit en groen strassteentjies in dertig verskillende groottes, gerangskik oor 201 blare in vier groottes. Die stam is afgewerk met 24K-bladgoud wat volgens tradisionele Japannese metodes aangebring is. Die raam is gemaak van Taiwanese sipres met verborge houtverbindings. Ander materiale sluit in hars, vlekvrye staal en geanodiseerde titaan. Die stuk meet 150 cm in lengte en 110 cm in hoogte, en weerkaats natuurlike daglig.

Production Technology: The tree's crown is crafted using ancient diamond pavé techniques, the trunk made with century-old Japanese gold leaf craftsmanship, and the outer frame employs hidden woodworking joinery. The materials include white rhinestones, green rhinestones, resin, electroplating, 24K gold leaf, stainless steel, anodized titanium, Taiwanese cypress(Hinoki), and dyes.
Design Challenge: The creative language of contemporary jewelry involves using various sizes gemstones, applied through different setting techniques, covering the surface in a rich display of jewelry design. This work challenges the intricacies of diamond surface sizes ranging from 90mm to 0.8mm, utilizing a total of 30 different sizes. Additionally, the piece features 201 leaves in four distinct sizes. The setting process was exceptionally challenging.
Research: Through the symbolism of an ancient tree, the focused spirit of the ancestors is continuously passed down to future generations. The eternal nature of diamonds is used to express the tree's inner energy and the limitless accumulation of its spirit.
Inspiration: Many historically significant buildings in Taiwan are guarded by a tree. Its roots dig deep into the soil, stabilizing the foundation, loyally entrenched in the earth, witnessing the connection between the building and human emotional values.
Project Duration: The project began in Oct. 2023, Taipei, and was completed in Jun. 2024, with installation at the Yongji construction site in Xinyi District.
Operation Flow: With natural light streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the diamond tree resembles a master craftsman, distilling all its essence into the scene. It reflects different emotional atmospheres, saturating every corner in the interplay of light and shadow, and this brilliance guides the viewer to experience the infinite value of architectural craftsmanship.
