Sounds of Craftmenship

While society benefits economically from constant technological progress, traditional craftsmanship and artisanal skills however are gradually fading away. At Pieces of Jade we want to revive these precious heritage of Taiwnaese crafts, by bridging the gap between traditional techniques and modern designs through collaborations with local artisans.

Soft Soul; Sleep

‘’Soft Soul; Sleep’’ is a collection that presents a process of self-healing while a person or a plant is sleeping. Taking reference from “Sleep Movements”, a scientific literature published in the 50s. It refers that plants would change the position of leaves to reduce the light intensity during the night in order to protect itself. In this project, Jialing uses bedroom objects as a metaphor, with the wonder of ‘‘imaging how plants sleep’’,  making soft sculptures and wall hanging quilts as the process of self-healing.
