「夢中之情,何必非真。」出自《牡丹亭》題記
 
情感往往不知從何而來。
就好像突如其來的一場美夢,讓杜麗娘再花亭園林中遇見了夢中情人一樣。雖說是夢境,所感受得到的卻和現實帶實感的心跳躍動。此情彼情,兩者皆是情。夢境幻象,又何嘗不是活境實象呢…

 



 

花燈盆景保留自然花奔的形狀,比例和顏色卻是超現實。幻似真幻似假的小花園…每人心中總有一個給自己歇息的國度。
繞,是製作傳統工藝時的一個重要技法。飾物繞線、銅線繞字、中國繩結等工藝,也用到繞這個技法。繞,可以令到物料彎曲,變成優美的弧線。而弧線能組合成有活力的形狀,形成像花卉和植物一樣的有機形態。受到新藝術運動工藝品的啟發,Pamela 用繞線工藝將大自然帶到現代空間中。用銅線和樹脂膠繞出花燈盆景,藉此在室內空間營造各種氣氛。

 

“Dear love, for nothing less than thee
Would I have broke this happy dream;
It was a theme
For reason, much too strong for fantasy,
Therefore thou wak’d’st me wisely; yet
My dream thou brok’st not, but continued’st it.”
 
The Dream, by John Donne
 
Trust what you feel.
 
Everyone has a fantasy in the mind, like a utopia inside their hearts. The hand crafted floral light installation presented the fantasyland of the artist. A garden, full of surreal flowers. Feel it. Is this a world of illusion……?
 
Inspired by Art Nouveau artefacts, Pamela brings nature into modern spaces with the curving wire art. Flower lanterns were curved by copper wire and resin in a form of bonsai landscape, in order to fit in modern living space. Lantern bonsai retains the shape of natural flowers, but the proportions and colors are surreal, so then creating a small garden that seems to be true and false.
 
Curving, is an important technique in making traditional crafts. Curving is extensively used in traditional crafts like Ornament wire-art accessories, wire calligraphies – and Chinese knots. By curving, the material can be bent into different curvature and turned into beautiful arcs, can then create ornaments in organic forms, such as flowers and plants.
