Niko Leung Hong-Ken’s Picnic Set

May 21st, 2012 · No Comments

Niko Leung Hong-Ken’s Picnic Set via BUILDING BLOCK. This is the first set, but the artist intends to continue the project and produce others.

“This project came forth from my fascination with a picture of an artefact I found in a book on Japanese traditional ceramics. I only know that it is the body of a drum… This ambiguity triggered me to explore the world the drum came from and its imagined possibilities today. Through a journey of almost a year of image-hunting, I explored  possible variations in everything from its shape to skin, from function to content, from the past to the present.”
