I'll begin by paraphrasing Ray Bradbury: an artist creates with intuitive feeling first and thinking comes after. The intellect is a corrective - if used excessively it can actually hinder.
To be human is to be in the middle of opposing forces. Either peacefully balanced or oscillating between two extremes. I've found the spectrum of duality not to be a straight line but a wheel.Not to get heavy, but I feel like I commune with higher powers at the wheel. In a state of playful, empty-minded mindfulness, I embody the motions of ancestral potters through the ages, satisfying the spirit. The historical imperative that led to the proliferation of ceramics is no longer with us. Nonetheless, burnt clay has found its niche and remains a fundamental building block in the material culture of today.
Ceramic art speaks in an ancient language exalting the majesty of forms. The Chirophone is a machine built to transform the visual dimension of these artefacts into sound in a process of reverse synesthesia.
首先，我想引用雷-布拉德伯里（Ray Bradbury）的一句話：藝術家的創作首先是直覺，然後才是思考。智力是一種矯正器--如果過度使用，實際上會起到阻礙作用。
做人就是處於各種對立力量的中間。要麼和平平衡，要麼在兩個極端之間搖擺。我發現二元性的光譜不是一條直線，而是一個輪子。我並不想說得太沉重，但我覺得我在輪子上與更高的力量交流。在嬉戲、空靈的心境中，我體現了歷代陶藝家的動作，滿足了精神。導致陶瓷大量出現的歷史要求已不復存在。然而，燒製陶土找到了自己的位置，仍然是當今物質文化的基本組成部分。
陶瓷藝術用一種古老的語言讚美形式的威嚴。 Chirophone是一台機器，透過逆向聯覺過程將這些工藝品的視覺維度轉化為聲音。
