The clothing and head pieces with birdcages seem to suggest a sense of leisure in the life of diligent labourers. Many components in the installation are handcrafted, such as the ceramic smoke-fired, gourd-shaped cricket cages and brass neck rings.
The lower hem borders are embroidered with the pattern commonly seen on imperial gowns, celebrating the labour class with the noble embroidery decoration.
ANCIENT CRICKET SOUNDS MANUAL
Digital prints are combined with Shibori, a Japanese manual resist dyeing technique and laser etching is combined with embroidery to create landscape imagery on a series of A-line skirts. The costumes combine traditional and contemporary techniques, paying homage to the cultural practice of keeping crickets and the crafting skills associated with it.
Cricket Songs conveys the charm of different moments in the seasonal cycle. This collection draws on this rich cultural heritage and a collaboration with Chan Chor-Kiu, a Hong Kong rattan weaver. Artefacts were designed for different seasons and served various functions, demonstrating the significance of crickets in Chinese history. Historically, the art of keeping crickets as pets included delicate artefacts such as pots, cages and ticklers made of sandalwood, jade, ivory, ceramic or bamboo.
