An Dealbhadh

Mu dheidhinn Radiance of Nature with Urushi Soilseachadh

Air a thoirt à sùgh nàdarra a chaidh a bhuain gu seasmhach ann an Iapan, tha lacair Urushi air a chur air bambù a' cruthachadh àite tumaidh am measg chumaidhean coltach ri craobhan. Eu-coltach ri cultar an Iar, far am bi daoine a' toirt sgàilean air falbh bhon àite, tha am pròiseact seo a' cruthachadh sgàilean a dh'aon ghnothach mar phàirt de mhaise aistetaigeach. Faodaidh colbhan Urushi solas coltach ri coinneal a nochdadh ann an seòmar dorcha, a' sgaoileadh dealradh soilleir a bheir mothachadh air doimhneachd an dorchadais. Tha feartan sònraichte cruth is solas a' cruthachadh eadar-chluich tharraingeach de dh'ath-nochdaidhean solais agus sgàilean a' dùsgadh àite micreachosmach a chuireas nàdar an cuimhne.

Feartan Sònraichte: Urushi lacquer is produced from natural sap sustainably harvested in Japan. Unfortunately, the traditional craft of Urushi is in decline due to the emergence of alternative materials. This project aims to revitalise this craft and create a space that connects people with nature. Urushi also has qualities that reflect even the smallest light. Through the arrangement of tree-like shapes, the play of light and shadows can immerse people in a microcosmic space reminiscent of nature.
Tomhasan & Pacadh: The object consists of 16 cylindrical lights. Diameter: 11 cm to 14 cm. It comes in four sizes: size S 60 cm, size M 90 cm, size L 128 cm, and size XL 167 cm.
Urushi lacquer is applied on the bamboo by hand by Urushi craftsmen.
The bamboo is cut by artisans who cut the bamboo vertically, revealing the cut section on a dare.
Tagaichean: Lighting, Sustainable, Traditional, Revitalising, Cultural, Meditative, Darkness, Space, Installation, Product,
Teicneòlas Cinneasachaidh: Urushi is extracted from trees in small amounts, applied to natural materials such as bamboo. Although highly durable, Urushi products can be returned to nature when disposed of breaking down naturally under UV light. Crafted by hand by skilled artisans, each product is created in respect of the slow, yet continuous production of natural material. This circular design has the potential to restore the relationship between nature and people contrasting the modern reliance on single-use plastics.
Dùbhlan Dealbhaidh: Why can’t everyday objects also be an opportunity for people to connect with nature? Urushi, a fully repairable, biodegradable, and naturally produced lacquer, allows people to create products embodying the cycle of nature. This ancient Japanese craft founded in principles of sustainability is revitalized through a modern design in this project
Rannsachadh: Design research was conducted through hands-on experiments, thesis research, and collaboration with experts such as craftsmen, harvesters, and product designers. Hands-on experiments involved experimenting with more than 20 natural materials in combination with lacquer, while on the theoretical side, we investigated the relationship between how traditional Japanese lighting and space are perceived, and the relationship between Japanese gardens, modernism, and minimalism.
Brosnachadh: Unlike the West, where people often remove shadows from space, the Japanese embrace shadows as a part of aesthetic beauty. In Junichiro Tanizaki's In Praise of Shadows, he mentions the true value of lacquerware is that it reflects a candle-like light in a dark room, giving off a luminous glow that gives a sense of the depth of darkness and invites one into a meditative space. Through this project, Urushi is used to reflect a small flickering light while embracing shadows.
Faid a' Phròiseict: The project started in August 2022 in London and Japan, and finished in June 2023 in London, and was exhibited in Saint Central Martins in London.
Sruth Obrachaidh: Through the arrangement of tree-like shapes, the project seeks to evoke a sense of being in a forest. The play of light and shadows allows viewers to immerse themselves in a microcosmic space reminiscent of nature. This project not only explores the fascination of materials but also encourages the viewer to look at the materials through the lense of their backgrounds, narratives and connections with nature.
