I came up with the idea when I was working on my solo exhibition in Long Museum, 2015. The exhibition involves ten huge paintings, which means enormous workload and requires full concentration. This is what occurred to me: why not make something totally opposite? Something relaxing. I started after the opening of the exhibition. This work is alienated from my past creation system. First, it is a kind of relief after high intensity, symbolising a kind of rebel against the rigorous status. Second, it is related to my childhood. During late 1960s to early 1970s, people responded to the nation’s call for being prepared for the war. Each family was required to hand in bricks. While the adult citizens were manufacturing the bricks, children were playing with mud aside. I did not encounter much troublesome difficulties. It just went intermittently. I have been thinking about doing works related to body and perceptions, and make it complete in a natural way. This work is imbued with coincidence. I would like to proceed with it if I have sufficient time.
