At the Airport

There was plenty of art to be found at the airport, one of the most striking things was a glass installation by Ying Chann, chennai and juan ling, Wu. It is a installation of a lilly field and represents pleasant childhood memories; Lilies dancing in the wind, croaking frogs... 'heaven on earth'.




It is revolutionary and a world first in the way each flower is made from a single bulb of glass and shaped liked that. Not several pieces moulded together, with each flower and its five petals all coming from the same bulb of glass. This combines 3d molding technology to sculpture glass flower petals with other hand carved glass to create a half 3d effect. It is a 'top notch' creation in terms of technology and art.








There was also a lot of children's art at the airport. There was no notion as to why it was there but after jaz commented on the layout of the pieces i realised he was right and the art was similiar to when we designed and produced our own wheel trim designs. The only difference is that children have decorated hats. I am not sure of the name, but they are the hats worn locally in Taiwan. There are nearly nine hundred in total. each one unique and individual.
