Pictures and Stories of the Objects were gathered through a series of workshops. There are two kind of old objects, some are gifts, some are taken from others when are longer needed. Both carry social and personal meanings, how they were used, their scratches broken parts some objects are in good shape; they are discarded because the users change their taste. These old objects signify collective memories and personal meanings that are absent in newly bought objects. This is why I am fascinated with old objects. These old objects inspired my imagination.

宋皇臺站藝術品《大地陶詞》Artwork “Earth Song” at Sung Wong Toi Station
Artist Fiona Wong presents a modern interpretation of the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty, recreating paintings from the time with ceramic sculptures, illustrating the stunning beauty of the ever-changing seasons. It means a lot to represent the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty at this particular station right here at this location, a few dozen metres underground an ancient, Song Dynasty town was excavated….. Originally I wished to integrate the archaeological finds in my work, Eventually, all factors considered I distilled the Spirit of these artefacts as my inspiration for a brand new contemporary piece. The final work will be located at the platform on four pillars, the work comprises two sets One set is about day and night another is about spring and winter the four works are all based on Song Dynasty paintings including “ Studies of the Properties of Water” By Ma Yuan “ Traveller Among Mountains and Stream” By Fan Kuan These significant Chinese paintings inspired the work. It depicts the passage of time, the contrast between day and night between the seasons the vitality in spring versus the solitude of a snowy winter. I hope the piece can represent the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty and offer busy passengers an aesthetic experience and reconnect them with history
