Collection of Mountains: Mt. Jade
Sewing day and night with needle and thread.
Creating endless road with endless book.
Taiwanese artist Cheng Tsung FENG always focuses on traditional handcrafted culture. For this installation artwork at the Raffles Family Taipei office, he used a kind of book binding method with a long history called “Chinese Stitched Binding” to make a large number of handmade books in various sizes. He collected these books on a huge bookcase to form the shape of the highest mountain in Taiwan – Jade Mountain. The interplay of light and shadow within the bookshelf mirrors the day and night cycles in Taiwan. As people gaze upon this Jade Mountain, they see the silhouette formed by impressions of the sky. They think of here and there, anticipating either a return or an imminent departure.

藏山：玉山
一針一線，一晝一夜，以萬卷書，砌萬里路。
藝術家范承宗長期關注傳統手工藝文化，本次於 Raffle Family Taipei 辦公室的創作，以歷史悠久的中式線裝技法，結合數位軟體運算來詮釋高山衛星3D模型，製作出大量尺寸不同的手工線裝書。他將這些書冊收藏在一牆巨大的書櫃上，集結成台灣最高山——玉山的模樣。而書櫃裡的天空，將隨著台灣的晝夜時刻變換光影與色彩。人們望向這座玉山，所見即是由天空印象所構成的山形輪廓，想起此地與彼方，等待歸來，或即將啟程。
