Modern people often lead a busy life. Thus, I’d like to evoke people’s pleasant childhood memories by integrating the essence of children’s folk games into my works.
First, this thesis studies the art of traditional lacquer ware, the present situation of its development in Taiwan and varied applications of its techniques. Next, this thesis explores the literature on children’s folk games.
Then, I incorporate the looks, the playing methods and happy associations of children’s folk games into household ware of various materials while making use of different lacquer techniques. My works are divided into three sections: to play, to reminisce and to have a game together with the purpose of demonstrating how traditional children’s folk games can be transformed into household ware.
