grassy, 2017

I pruned ph paper as grass and placed on the edge of Dover White Cliff on a rainy day

When the Ph paper meets the rain, the acidity turns them to green, like the real grasses. After it dried out they will turn back to yellow but the ingredients in the paper will seep into the soil and kill the grass and turns them to yellow. After certain repetition, while the soil has diluted all the toxic ingredients it grows well again. A work that interruptlly using artificial and nature to change colours.

草，2017

我在一個雨天把Ph試紙裁剪成草，秧插在多佛白崖邊上

當黃色Ph試紙遇到雨時，酸度將它們變成綠色，就像真正的草。乾燥後，它們會變回黃色，但紙中的化學成分會滲入土壤並毒害綠草，並將它們變成枯黃。經過一定的重複，當土壤稀釋了所有的有毒成分後，草再次生長良好。一件間斷使用人造物和大自然本身去改變大自然顏色的作品。
