Recipe - Artist Statement

My inspiration is of different kinds of pastry, such as Chinese bao, pie, croissant and so on. They inspired me not only by their basic structure but also from the making process. I was encouraged by homemade pastry, which is an interactive home activity to increase mutual happiness. I designed a collection of interactive paper jewellery kits, which invite audiences to participate in the jewellery making process with design. And, according to the fact that most pastries are made directly by a piece of flat flour dough, these paper pieces of jewellery were simplified so that audiences can fold one paper jewellery directly from a prepared paper piece without needing any glue during the whole making process. It seems like the pastry's structure is only supported by flour itself without anything else. The colour of this paper jewellery collection is blank because I want to leave some space for audiences to design and show their different styles . I also recorded the folding guide video to teach audiences how to make them. It imitated the pastry-making process, and is displayed through the large windows of a bakery, and I am the baker who is making the pastry on the other side of the windows. There is also another collection of steel brooches. These brooches can also be folded directly from etched metal pieces, However, the difference is that they have a more complex structure, which is difficult for audiences to make it by themselves. These two collections are concerned with the pastry. Pastry is not only a food but also a kind of art direction which is easy to be ignored in life. Also, jewellery is not only staying on the level of a static decoration but is also a dynamic object which can tell the story behind it by interactive design.
