The Design

About East and West Escultura cerámica

Oriente y Occidente es una serie de artesanías cerámicas con forma de hormigas. Cada escultura de hormiga mide 160 milímetros de largo, 120 milímetros de profundidad y 300 milímetros de alto. La forma se obtiene mediante el vaciado en molde escultórico y se cuece a una temperatura elevada de 1300 grados. El papel azul y blanco reciclado, recogido en talleres de Jingdezhen, se combina con el electrochapado moderno, uniendo la decoración oriental con el estilo occidental. Dado que el papel reciclado es distinto en cada pieza, cada hormiga es única. La serie expresa la idea del reciclaje y la protección del medio ambiente.
