Jiu Island. The creation of lacquer focuses on the intersection between bamboo craftsmanship and lacquer art. The bamboo itself possesses fiber, elasticity, and lightness, while lacquer brings protection, color, and layers of time; when combined, these two elements form a gentle and delicate expression in the form of objects.
Creator Chen Yiyi starts from the material itself, focusing on the relationship between the bamboo core, surface treatment, and the lacquer layer. The work does not seek excessive ornamentation; instead, it allows the material to reveal its inherent qualities through simple lines.
Jiu Island. Lacquer-painted bamboo crafts not only retain their traditional functions but also find their place in contemporary life and spaces. Through the refinement and protection of lacquer, bamboo crafts are endowed with a longer lifespan, allowing the time involved in the handcraft process to be preserved.
