Like a child, I fancy making things I am pleased with, however disarrayed and formless they may be. Yet later I learn that art may make my early toying shaped and formalized. The study of three-dimensional art (the school of Constructivism) in particular has somehow influenced the trend of my art now. In this art the industrial materials are used as prevailing media. Space is the main dominant theme. And together with the shaped materials containing the space, they become the object -- the form of the art, be that known or unknown. My art is wholly designated as "Form Unknown". And as such it conveys no associative, discoursing nor literal meanings, in the conventional sense, the likeness of which is in the form of composed music, movement in dance or order in nature, that is, the aesthetics of form -- displaying order, balance, proportion, contrast, precision, rhythm, etc. The construction has developed into endless spherical Möbius bands moulded in cast bronze and into deflected trigonometric forms fabricated from aluminium or steel. Except in the casting of bronzes, the artist personally executes and fabricates the pieces. As a whole, the pieces reveal structurally spherical (3-D), globally viewable from all vantage points and rotating kaleidoscopically.
